8 divided by 15 isn't possible so according to the rules of division we introduce a (0.) then we add a (0) to the back of (8) to make it (80) which is bigger than (15) so we now have (80/15) which is (5) remaining (5) then we add the back of the (0.) it then becomes (0.5) we then step down the remaining (5) and also add a (0) at the back to make it (50) which is also bigger than (15) (50/15) which gives us (3) and a remaining (5) add (3) to the back of (0.5) to become (0.53) also still step down the remaining (5) add a zero to it to become (50) still divide by (15) gives (3) and remains (5) and it gives the same answer so it is a reoccurring decimal.
We know that m-------------------- > <span>the amount of twinkle lights Maggie used l--------------------- > </span><span>the amount of twinkle lights Lilly used l=70 m=51+l therefore m=51+70=121 m=121
the answer is 121 (</span>amount of twinkle lights Maggie used)
