Claire cut some apples into eights. She ate all but 17 pieces. how many whole apples and parts of apples did she have left over?

17/8ths = 2 1/8 apples

2 1/8

i don't know someone tell me please

the answer is 2 1/8

17-8=9

I don't know can someone tell me I'm stuck on this problem!!!

To find the number of whole apples and parts of apples Claire had left over, we can start with the total number of pieces of apples she had and subtract the number of pieces she ate.

Let's assume Claire had 'x' number of apples.

Since each apple was cut into eights, we can calculate the total number of pieces of apples using the equation:

Total pieces of apples = Number of apples * Pieces per apple

The total number of pieces of apples Claire had is given by:

Total pieces of apples = x * 8

Now, we know Claire ate all but 17 pieces. So, the number of pieces of apples she had left can be calculated as:

Number of pieces left = Total pieces of apples - Pieces she ate

Number of pieces left = (x * 8) - 17

To find the number of whole apples left over, we need to divide the number of pieces left by 8 (since each apple is cut into 8 pieces):

Number of whole apples left over = Number of pieces left / 8

Number of parts of apples left over can be found by taking the modulus (remainder) of the division:

Number of parts of apples left over = Number of pieces left % 8

Therefore, to find the number of whole apples and parts of apples Claire had left over, you need to solve the equation:

Number of whole apples left over + Number of parts of apples left over = Number of pieces left divided by 8 + Number of pieces left modulo 8.
