Question

A number divided by 43 has a quotient of 3 with 28 as a remainder. Find the number. Show your work. Write another division problem that has a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 28.

Answer 1

A quotient of 3 with 28 as a remainder means that 43 fits inside our number 3 times, and you have 28 more units as a remainder.

So, our number is

$3\times 43 + 28 = 129+28=157$

To write another division problem that has a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 28, we simply choose another number to substitute 43 in the expression above. For example, if we choose 100, the expression becomes

$3\times 100 + 28 = 300+28=328$

Which means that 328 has quotient of 3 with 28 as a remainder when divided by 100.
