Question

Mrs. Dumas has $130 to buy basketballs for Edison Middle School How many can she buy at $15 each? Interpret the remainder

Answer 1

He can buy 8 with a remainder of 10 dollars

Answer 2

First, you would divide the 150 by 15 to see how many basketballs you could buy. When you do so, you get 8 2/3. Since we can't buy 2/3 of a basketball, you can only buy 8.
