Answer:
5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
So a number (x because unknown) divided by 40 (x divided into 40 parts or x/40) has a quotient of 6 with a remainder of 16 (answer=6 with 16 remainder)
remember that remainder is not involved in division, just leftover
x/40=6+16 remainder
to get rid of the fraction, multiply the whole equation by 40 and add the remainder (since it wasn't involved in division)
x=240+16
x=256
check: use calculator/head
number=256
Consider the following example:
Mira and Lola are looking to hire a hall for their 18th birthday party. They are expecting at least 50 guests and want a hire that will accommodate the party. Write this requirement as an inequality
Solution: the keyword here is 'at least' because it means that the hall must be able to accommodate a minimum of 50 people. It is a clue that Mira and Lola are expecting more than 50 guests. The inequality symbol for this context is 'more than or equal to' and as inequality, we have x ≥ 50
The answer should be or is around 15 or 150
