Question

Solve the following problem.

1. A leaking faucet waste about 3 liters of water a day. How many liters of water can be saved daily if 500 leaking faucets are repaired?

2. The quotient is 25 and the divisor is 14. the dividend is 353. I am the remainder what number am I?

3. Isaiah had 63 apples. He divided all apples evenly among his 9 friends. How many apples did Isaiah give to each of his friends?

4. Nancy needs 5 oranges to make a glass of orange juice. If Nancy 250 oranges, how many glasses of orange juice can she make?​

Answer 1

1) 1500 litres

2)Remainder = 3

3)7 apples

4)50 glasses

Explanation:

1) We are told that a leaking faucet wastes about 3 liters of water per day.

Now, if 500 faucets are repaired, it means total number of litres saved per day = 500 × 3 = 1500 litres

2) We are told that the quotient is 25 and the divisor is 14. the dividend is 353.

Now, the quotient multiplied by the divisor should give us the dividend. Otherwise, we subtract the value we get from the dividend to get the remainder.

Thus:

Quotient × divisor = 25 × 14 = 350

This is not equal to the dividend.

Thus the remainder is;

353 - 350 = 3

Remainder = 3

3) We are told Isaiah had 63 apples.

If he divided the 63 apples among his 9 friends evenly, it means the number of apples received by each of his friends is gotten by Dividing the total number of apples by the number of friends. This gives; 63/9 = 7 apples

4) We are told Nancy needs 5 oranges to make a glass of orange juice.

Now, Nancy has 250 oranges. This means that the number of glasses of orange juice she can make is; 250/5 = 50 glasses
