Question

{4.OA.A.3} There are 1,492 chairs in the auditorium. Ms. Jones wants to put them into 10 rows. If she splits the chairs evenly into 10 rows, how many chairs will Ms. Jones have left over?

Answer 1

2 chairs will be left over.

Explanation:

Given that

There are a total of 1492 chairs.

which are to divided in 10 rows evenly.

To find:

Number of chairs left ?

Solution:

Let the number of chairs in each row =
`x`

There are 10 rows so number of chairs in rows = 10
`x`

Let the number of chairs left =
`y`

Total number of chairs =10
`x` +
`y` = 1492

The above equation is like:

Divisor
`*` Quotient + Remainder = Dividend

So, we have to find the remainder in this question where we are given Divisor and Dividend.

10
`*` 149 + 2 = 1492

So, dividing 1492 with 10, we get remainder as 2.

Hence, 2 chairs will be left.
