Ja'Niyah has a treasure trove of 653 candies and wants to share them equally with her 74 adventurous friends. How many candies will each friend receive on this sweet journey?

• 8

• 9

Answer explanation

To solve 653 ÷ 74, we can estimate that 74 goes into 653 about 8 times, since 74 x 8 = 592, which is less than 653, and 74 x 9 = 666, which exceeds 653. Thus, the correct answer is 8.

Imagine Ja'Niyah is planning a road trip to visit her cousin who lives 133 miles away. Her car can travel 14 miles on each gallon of gas. How many gallons of gas will Ja'Niyah need for the entire round trip adventure?

Answer explanation

To find the total distance for the round trip, multiply 133 miles by 2, which equals 266 miles. Since the car travels 14 miles per gallon, divide 266 by 14 to get approximately 19 gallons. However, rounding down gives 18 gallons needed.
