Question

A teacher has 1,425 marbles to divide equally among 9 groups of students to use in an experiment. What is the least number of marbles he could have left after the marbles are distributed?

Answer 1

You first have to divide 1,425/ 9, you’ll later then get the answer of 158 with a remainder of 3, the three can’t be evenly distributed and so THE ANSWER IS 3
