Question

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

Answer 1

Because she has $130, and the basketballs are $15 each, you will need to divide the total money you have by how much the basketballs cost.
130/15=8.6 or $2\frac{8}{10}$
The remainder means that there will be money left over. Since you can't buy 0.6 of a basketball, the total amount of basketballs that can be bought is 8, and money will be left over.

Answer 2

8 with a remainder of 10 or 8 and 10/15 orrrrr 8 and 1/3
