Question

How many times does 8 go into 143

Answer 1

$143\div8\approx17.9 \Rightarrow 17 \text{ times}$

Answer 2

To solve this problem we must divide.
8 doesn't go into 143 evenly; so it goes 143÷8 about 17 times.
(if you want a more precise answer you can add the remainder, which is 17.9 in decimal form).
