She wants to put at least 8 pieces of fruit in each basket. Her mother gives her 5 more pieces of fruit.
Will she have enough fruit to fill the baskets? Explain.
A.

No, 37 -5 = 7 R2, so Maria only has enough to put 7 pieces of fruit in each basket with 2 pieces of fruit left over.
B.

No, 42 = 8 = 5 R2, so Maria only has
each basket with 2 pleces of fruit left over.

C.
Yes, 42.5 = 8 R2, so Maria has enough to put 8 pieces of fruit in each basket with 2 pleces of fruit left over.

D.
Yes, 45 + 5 =9, so Maria has enough to put 9 pieces of fruit in each basket with o pieces of fruit left over.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer would be C

Explanation:

37 + 5 = 42

Each teacher needs 8 and there are 5 teachers

5 x 8 = 40

So each teacher can have 8 apples and there will be two left over
