Question

Mariana and Vicky both solved 617 divided 6. Mariana got 12 remainder 5 as her answer. Vicky got 102 remainder 5 as her answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

617 ÷ 6

Dividing in order from left to right:

6 into 6 goes once.

6 into 1 doesn't so carry the 1 to the next number

6 into 17 goes twice, remainder 5

So we have: 102 remainder 5.

Vicky is correct.

Answer 2

Vicky, because 102x6 is 612 and add 5 you get 617
