Back

In real-world situations, a remainder can indicate items that are left over or not enough to fill a complete group.

If you have 23 items and group them into sets of 5, how do you find the number of complete sets?

Back

Divide 23 by 5. The quotient gives the number of complete sets, and the remainder shows how many items are left over.

Front

What does it mean to round up in division problems?

Back

Rounding up means taking the next whole number when there is a remainder, indicating that an additional group is needed.

Front

How many complete groups can you make with 20 items in sets of 6?

If a class of 23 children needs to fit into cars that hold 5 children each, how many cars are needed?

Back

You need 5 cars to accommodate all 23 children, as 4 cars can hold 20 children, leaving 3 children for the 5th car.

Front

What is the formula to calculate the number of groups needed when there is a remainder?

Back

The formula is: Number of groups = (Total items ÷ Group size) rounded up.

Front

How do you find the length of each piece when dividing a total length into equal parts?

Back

Divide the total length by the number of parts to find the length of each piece.

Front

If you have 41 grams of plastic and each ruler requires 9 grams, how do you find out how many rulers can be made?
