To check which of the quotients is correct, multiply 43 times 20 and add the remainder. The result must be equal to 876.
First, notice that 20 times 43 equals 860.
A)
The remainder is 17. 860 + 17 = 877, which is not equal to 876.
B)
The remainder is 16. 860 + 16 = 876, which is equal to 876.
C)
The remander is 7. 860 + 7 = 867, which is not equal to 876.
D)
The remainder is 6. 860 + 6 = 866, which is not equal to 876.
Since 20*43 + 16 = 876, then the correct quotient is shown in option B:
876 ÷ 43 = 20 r 16
