Question

The watch repairman needs to replace the battery on some watches he has 43 minutes before closing how many batteries can he replace if each replacement takes 8 minutes and how many minutes will be left over

Answer 1

Answer:

5 batteries with a leftover time of 3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes the watch repairman 8 minutes to replace a battery on the watches

In 43 minutes, he will be able to replace $\frac{43}{8}$ batteries on the watches

$\frac{43}{8}$ =$5\dfrac{3}{8}$

Therefore the watch repairman can replace 5 watch batteries.

He will have 3 minutes left over.
