Monica has eleven children and eleven apples. She wants to divide equal pieces of apples so that Apple is still left out.
how many apples left out? If it is one, then 10 apples for 11 kids.
simple: give the first 10 kids an apple each. Put the 11th apple in a bowl, with the last kid holding it.
To divide the apples equally among the eleven children, you need to find out how many pieces each child should get. Since Apple is going to be left out, you need to divide the apples into 10 equal pieces.
Here's how you can calculate the number of pieces each child should get:
1. Divide the total number of apples (11) by the number of children (11 - 1 = 10, since Apple is left out).
11 รท 10 = 1, with a remainder of 1.
2. Each child should get 1 whole apple.
3. Since you have a remainder of 1, one child will get an additional piece. This child will receive the remaining part of the apple.
Therefore, ten children will receive 1 apple each, and one child will receive an apple along with the remaining piece.
Please note that this solution assumes that the apples can be divided into smaller pieces, at least in this case where one child receives a whole apple and another child receives the remaining piece.
