Question

Marcia has 412 flower for centerpieces.She uses 8 flowers for each centerpiece.How many centerpieces can she make?

Answer 1

Answer:

412 flower = 51 + 1/2 center pieces

OR             = 51.5 centerpieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total flowers: 412

Flowers used per centerpiece: 8

Number of centerpieces she can make: 412/8 = 51.5

Or we can say that:

51 centerpieces can be made and there will be  4 flowers left behind.

As,

51* 8 = 408

So,

Remainder = Total - Used

Remainder = 412 - 408

Remainder = 4

As half centerpiece can be decorated with 4 flowers so we can write:

412 flower = 51 + 1/2 center pieces

OR             = 51.5 centerpieces

I hope it will help you!
