michael has 79 dvds. He can store 15 dvds in a wooden crate. how many crates will he need
79÷15 = 5 but I get a remainder 4.
Is it right to say he'll need 5 crates
No. What's he going to do with the extra dvds?
Don't you think he needs 6 crates?
Oh yes your right, 1 more crate for the extra dvds thanks
You're welcome :-)
Yes, you are correct. To find out how many crates Michael will need, you divide the total number of DVDs he has (79) by the maximum number of DVDs that can be stored in one crate (15).
79 ÷ 15 = 5 with a remainder of 4.
So, Michael will need 5 crates to store the majority of his DVDs, and there will be 4 DVDs left over that won't fit into a complete crate.
