Question

Lille has a bag of chips to share with her friends. The bag contains 89 chips, and lille wants to share with 6 people including herself. She plans to give the leftovers to her sister. How many chips will her sister get?

Answer 1

Answer: 5 chips

======================================

Explanation:

Use your calculator to find that 89/6 = 14.8333 approximately

The whole part 14 means each of the six people get 14 chips

That means 6*14 = 84 chips have been eaten so far, leaving 89-84 = 5 chips left over for her sister.

In other words,

89/6 = 14 remainder 5
