W 5.3

A group of 57 dancers are organised into groups of nine. How many full groups of nine can be created?

Back

Hint:

There is a remainder, but that's ok.

Do a bus stop method or use your time table to work out the answer.

I have a second question for you:

A factory makes 67 cars in one day. Each car transporter can carry 8 cars. How many transporters are needed to carry all the cars away?

Back

reflexion:

I wanted to give you those two questions that are division with remainders but require an answer with an interger (whole number). You need to read the question carefully to work out if you are going to round up or down.

answer question 1:

57 ÷ 9 = 6 r 3

I will round down, I can make 6 groups of nine (and I will have 3 spare dancers...)

answer: 6 full groups

Back

answer question 2:

67 ÷ 9 = 8 r 3

I will round up, because all the cars need to be taken away even though one transporter will only carry 3 cars.

answer: 9 transporters
