Answer 1

Answer:

Mrs. Fowler will get $9$ free pizza. And she needs two more coupon for the next pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that pizza stand gives a free pizza for every $8$ coupons.

And Mrs. Fowler has $78$ coupons.

Part (a)

How many free pizzas can Mrs. Fowler get if she has $78$coupons?

We will divide total number of coupons $78$ by $8$ coupons.

$\frac{78}{8}=9\frac{6}{8}$

When we divide we get quotient as $9$, with a remainder of $6$. So, Mrs. Fowler will get $9$ free pizza.

Now, part (b)

If  Mrs. Fowler adds two more coupons that will turn remainder $6$ into $6+2=8$.

So, she can have next pizza.
