Answer:
51 with a remainder of one, or 51.2
Step-by-step explanation:
She has 256 donuts and 5 friends. I assume this is for long division practice, so I will do long division.
5 | 256
Look at the first term. Does 5 go into 2? No. Bring down the next term.
5|256
25
Does 5 go into 25? Yes! How many times? 5. The first digit of our answer will be 5.
5|256 = 5
25
Now to get rid of the 25, we multiply the number we took for our answer by the divisor. 5x5 = 25. Subtract this from 25 and bring down the next (and last term).
5|256 = 5
25
-25
06
Does 5 go into 6? Yes. One time. Repeat what we did just now with this term now.
5|256 = 51
06
-5
1
Does 5 go into 1? No, it is smaller. Therefore we have a remainder of one donut.
If we are trying to divide ALL of the donuts equally, we will have to cut up the donut into 5 equal pieces. They would each be 1/5 of the donut, or 0.2.
So adding this, each friend would get 51 donuts, with an extra donut for Mrs Rivas, or each friend would get 51.2/51 and 1/5 donuts.
