Question

Kayla is shelving books in the media center. She has to shelve 250 books on Monday and 157 books on Tuesday. Each shelf holds 25 books. She has to place any remaining books on a table. How many books will be placed on a table?

Answer 1

My answer is 400 if you still need it. the way I did it is by adding 250 and 157 and then dividing it by 25 which is 16.8 then 25 times 16 and it's 400 and to get to 420 it's 20 books so 20 books are on the table. Hope this helps

Answer 2

Total books= 407

Shelf holds 25

407/25=16 R7

7 book for the table
