Question

A question says "Mr. Dawson buys 3 packages of trading cards to divide evenly among his 4 grandchildren. There are 15 cards in each package. He gives as many cards as he can to each grandchild. How many cards does Mr. Dawson have leftover? A. 11 B. 3 C. 1 D. 0

Answer 1

The answer is C because 15 times 3 is 45 and 45 divided by 4 is 11 and 11 times 4 is 44.45 minus 44 is 1.

Answer 2

(3 * 15) / 4 = 45/4 = 11....remainder 1....each grandkid gets 11 cards...equaling 44 cards....leaving 1 left for Mr. Dawson
