Question

Victoria searched her house for quarters. She started with 17 quarters and found 6 more quarters. She then goes to the arcade. If a game costs 2 quarters to play, how many games can she play and how many quarters are left over? Victoria can play times and there will be quarters left over.

Answer 1

Answer:

11 games

Step-by-step explanation:

17+6=23

23/2=11.5

Victoria can play 11 games. You'd usually round up, but in this case you can't play half a game so she'll play 11 games and have one quarter leftover.

Answer 2

Answer:

Victoria can play 11 games and have 1 quarter left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

17 given quarters +6 found quarters = 23 total quarters.

Since 23 is an odd number and we want to divide by 2, we have to go down to the last even number: 22. (This gives us the left over quarter)

22 quarters/2quarters per game = 11 games
