A baker was going to arrange 432 desserts into rows of 28. The baker divides 432 by 28 and gets a quotient with remainder 12. Ex
plain what the quotient and remainder represent.
2 answers:
The quotient (15) represent : the number of desserts in each row
The remainder (12) represent: the rest of the dessert which didn't fill the 29th row fully
<h3>Further explanation</h3>The division operation is one of the basic arithmetic operations
Common signs used are or
The division is written by placing the numerator above the denominator with a horizontal line between them or use a slash with the numerator's position and the denominator is parallel
The division is actually an iterative subtraction operation (as many as the number of divisors)
Division is the opposite of multiplying
The general form of division can be stated by:
example:
7: 3 = 2 + 1
- 7 = dividend
- 3 = divisor
- 2 = quotient
- 1 = remainder
Division operation statement:
"7 divided by 3 equals 2 remainder 1
The form of division can also be expressed in terms of fractions
In the example above, the form of fraction obtained is the form of mixed fractions
Mixed fractions consist of whole number and proper fractions
The baker divides 432 by 28 , and gets a quotient with remainder 12
we translate this sentence into division operation, :
432 : 28 = 15 + 12
divident = 432
divisor = 28
quotient = 15
remainder = 12
It can be concluded from this division operation:
- 1. the total number of desserts = 432
- 2. the number of rows with 15 desserts per row is 28 rows
- 3. there are remaining rows that are not fully filled (row 29), only filled with 12 desserts
Divide 80 in a ratio of 3: 2
percent of 19.5 is 70.59
