Question

Mrs. Clemons has 108 cookies to hand out to her 22 students. If each student gets the same number of cookies, and there are 22 kids in the class, how many do they get and how many cookies does Mrs. Clemons have left over?

Answer 1

Each student is supposed to get 108/22 cookies but that  gives an answer with a decimal. (Each student can only get whole number cookies)

So we divide 108 by 22 using wrong division.

22 times 4 is 88. 108 minus 88 is 20

So each student get 4 cookies Mrs. Clemons have 20 cookies left over.
