Question

List the first three wholenumbers greater than 50 that will have a remainder of 7 when you divide by 9/ ?

Answer 1

Answer:

52, 61 and 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Divisor = 9$

$Remainder = 7$

Required

Determine first 3 possible dividends

The relationship between the $dividend,\ divisor,\ quotient\ and\ remainder$ is:

$Dividend = Divisor * Quotient + Remainder$

Substitute: $Divisor = 9$ and $Remainder = 7$

$Dividend = 9* Quotient + 7$

Since the Dividends must be greater than 50, then the values of the quotient will be 5, 6 and 7

So, we have:

$Dividend = 9* 5 + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52$

$Dividend = 9* 6 + 7 = 54 + 7 = 61$

$Dividend = 9* 7 + 7 = 63 + 7 = 70$

Hence, the three numbers are: 52, 61 and 70
