i think it is c
well k. i thaught it was 5 since its under 7 cause all the others are 7 or larger that 7 but if a number is larger or the same number that is not a remainder
sorry but it is d
well it's definitely NOT c cause you wouldn't have 7 remaining when you're dividing by 7 and there's 7 in 8 and 9
To determine a reasonable remainder when a number is divided by 7, we need to understand the concept of remainder. When one number is divided by another, the remainder is the amount left over after dividing as much as possible.
In this case, if we divide a number by 7, the remainder can only be between 0 and 6 because 6 is one less than 7. So, we need to find the option that is a remainder between 0 and 6.
Looking at the options, we can see that option A (8) and option B (9) are both larger than 7, so they cannot be the remainder when dividing by 7.
Option C (7) implies that there is no remainder, meaning it is a perfect division with no amount left over. Therefore, it is also not a reasonable remainder.
Now, let's consider option D (5). If a number is divided by 7 and we have 5 remaining, it means that after dividing as much as possible, there are 5 units left over. This is a valid remainder between 0 and 6.
So, the correct option is D (5), making it a reasonable remainder when a number is divided by 7.
