Question

9. a. Maurice says that 1079 ÷ 62 is 16 with a remainder of 87. a. Without seeing his work, how can you tell Maurice divided incorrectly? *
9. b. Maurice is correct about this fact: 16 × 62 + 87 = 1079. Explain how you can use that fact to find the correct quotient and remainder for 1079 ÷ 62 without actually dividing. Then find the quotient. *

Answer 1

Answer:

a.  We can tell that Maurice divided incorrectly because if the dividend is 62, you can't have a remainder of 87, because 62 goes into 87 once, so the answer would be 17 with a remainder of 25.  B. YOu can use that fact to find the correct quotient, because 87/62 is 1, with a remainder of 25, so 16+1=17, so the answer is 17 with a remainder of 25.   Please vote the brainliest.
