Lucas has \(26\) apples. He puts exactly \(4\) apples in each bag. How many bags can he fill completely? How many apples will be left over?

Hints

- Think about making equal groups of \(4\) apples. - Which multiple of \(4\) is closest to \(26\) without going over? - After making all the full groups, how many apples remain?

Solution

1. Divide the total number of apples by the number in each bag: \(26 \div 4\). 2. The greatest multiple of \(4\) that is no more than \(26\) is \(24\), because \(4 \times 6 = 24\). 3. Therefore, \(26 \div 4 = 6\) remainder \(2\). Lucas fills \(6\) bags, and \(2\) apples are left over.

Answer

Lucas can fill \(6\) bags completely. He will have \(2\) apples left over.

Tim divides several whole numbers by \(4\) and records these remainders: \(1\), \(3\), \(0\), \(2\), \(4\), \(1\) One remainder must be incorrect. Which one is it? Explain your answer.

Hints

- Compare each remainder with the divisor \(4\). - Think about whether a full group of \(4\) can be made from a remainder of \(4\). - List all whole numbers less than \(4\).

Solution

1. A remainder must be less than the divisor. 2. When dividing by \(4\), the only possible remainders are \(0\), \(1\), \(2\), and \(3\). 3. The listed remainder \(4\) is invalid because another full group of \(4\) could be made, leaving remainder \(0\).

Three students solve \(76\div9\). Lucas says, “The result is \(8\) remainder \(4\).” Mia says, “The result is \(7\) remainder \(13\).” Sophie says, “The result is \(8\) remainder \(3\).” Who is correct? Explain why the other two results cannot be correct.

Hints

- Test each student's result by rebuilding the original total. - For each leftover amount, ask whether another full group can be made. - Different errors can produce a wrong quotient and remainder.

Solution

1. For Lucas, \(8\times9+4=76\), and \(4<9\); his result is valid. 2. For Mia, \(7\times9+13=76\), but \(13\) leftovers can form another group of \(9\). So her quotient is too small. 3. For Sophie, \(8\times9+3=75\), not \(76\); her result does not reconstruct the dividend.

Answer

Lucas is correct. Mia is incorrect because \(13\) leftovers could make another group of \(9\). Sophie is incorrect because \(8\times9+3=75\), not \(76\).

1. Count \(50\) dots, including \(7\) colored dots. 2. Good eggs: \(50-7=43\). 3. Divide into cartons: \(43\div6=7\) remainder \(1\). 4. There are \(7\) full cartons and \(1\) good egg left over.

Answer

\(7\) full cartons; \(1\) good egg left over.

Each dot represents a lunch box. Each complete row fills one carton. How many full cartons can be packed? How many more lunch boxes are needed to fill one additional carton?
Figure for problem 537384

Hints

- Count the dots in each full row to find the capacity of a carton. - Count the full rows and then the incomplete one. - How many dots would complete the last row?

Solution

1. The diagram shows \(60\) dots with \(8\) in each complete row. 2. Seven full rows account for \(7\times8=56\) lunch boxes, leaving \(4\). 3. Another carton holds \(8\), so it needs \(8-4=4\) more lunch boxes.

Answer

\(7\) full cartons; \(4\) more lunch boxes are needed for one additional carton.
Division by a one-digit number: quotients and remainders 87
Each dot represents a sticker. Nine children share the stickers equally. Use the diagram to find how many stickers each child gets and how many are left over.
Figure for problem 537386

Hints

- Think of a full row as giving one sticker to each child. - Count the completed rows. - How many dots are left in the incomplete row?

Solution

1. The array contains \(56\) dots. Each complete row has \(9\) dots, one for each child. 2. Six complete rows give each child \(6\) stickers: \(9\times6=54\). 3. Two dots remain, so \(56\div9=6\) remainder \(2\).

Answer

Each child gets \(6\) stickers; \(2\) stickers remain.

Use the displayed written division without doing a new long division. a) How much must be added to the dividend to reach the next multiple of the divisor? b) What will the quotient be after that amount is added?
Figure for problem 554510

Hints

- Compare the displayed remainder with the divisor. - How much is missing from the incomplete final group? - What happens to the quotient when one full extra group is added?

Solution

1. The displayed division is \(632\div5=126\) remainder \(2\). 2. The next multiple of \(5\) is \(5-2=3\) higher, so add \(3\). 3. That completes one more group of \(5\), increasing the quotient from \(126\) to \(127\).

Answer

a) Add \(3\). b) New quotient: \(127\)
Division by a one-digit number: quotients and remainders 89
Investigate whether whole-number quotients with remainders can always be added separately. 1) Find \((25+11)\div6\). 2) Divide \(25\) by \(6\) and \(11\) by \(6\), recording each whole-number quotient and remainder. Then add only the two whole-number quotients. 3) Compare the results and explain what happens.

Hints

- Work out the three divisions independently before comparing. - Keep the remainders from the two separate divisions. - What could account for a difference between the two methods?

Solution

1. \((25+11)\div6=36\div6=6\). 2. \(25\div6=4\) remainder \(1\); \(11\div6=1\) remainder \(5\). Adding the whole-number quotients gives \(4+1=5\). 3. The remainders make an extra group of \(6\), because \(1+5=6\). Therefore, adding separate whole-number quotients need not give the quotient of the combined dividend.

Answer

1) \(6\). 2) \(4\) remainder \(1\); \(1\) remainder \(5\); quotient sum \(5\). 3) They differ by \(1\) because the two remainders form another full group of \(6\).

A whole number makes exactly \(84\) full groups of \(5\) when divided. There may be some left over. What are the smallest and greatest possible starting numbers? Explain why.

Hints

- Work backward from the quotient using multiplication. - Different valid remainders can produce the same whole-number quotient. - Decide how many leftovers are possible before an extra group is made.

Solution

1. The dividend is \(5\times84\) plus the remainder. 2. With remainder \(0\), the least dividend is \(5\times84=420\). 3. The greatest remainder when dividing by \(5\) is \(4\), giving \(420+4=424\). 4. A smaller dividend gives a quotient below \(84\); a dividend of \(425\) would make another group of \(5\) and give quotient \(85\).

Answer

Smallest: \(420\); greatest: \(424\). All possible starting numbers are \(420,421,422,423,424\). The remainder must be less than \(5\), so only \(0,1,2,3,4\) can be added to \(5\times84\).
