a person has 56 brownies to package for bake sale. the brownies will be sold in packs of 3. how many brownies will NOT BE PACKAGED? CHOICES 3, 5, 4, 9

When I divide 56 by 3 , I get 18 packages with 2 brownies left over.

So none of your choices fit.

The answer is clearly 5, because you have to include the 3 the person ate!

To determine the number of brownies that will not be packaged, you need to find the remainder when 56 is divided by 3.

Step 1: Divide 56 by 3.
56 รท 3 = 18 with a remainder of 2

Step 2: The remainder represents the number of brownies that will not be packaged.

Therefore, there will be 2 brownies that will not be packaged.

The correct answer is choice: 2 (not listed in the given choices).
