James bought 586 pretzels for his soccer team. If there are 9 kids on his team, how many pretzels will each kid receive?
If every kid wanted 70 pretzels, how many more pretzels would James need to bring?
Can you help me TheLovelyStudentHelper
This is 4th grade
586/9 = 65 with one left over for me.
9(70-65) = ?
but I still want to keep my pretzel.
To find out how many pretzels each kid will receive, divide the total number of pretzels by the number of kids on the team.
In this case, James bought 586 pretzels for his soccer team, and there are 9 kids on his team. So, to find out how many pretzels each kid will receive, divide 586 by 9.
586 ÷ 9 = 65.1111...
Since we cannot have fractional parts of pretzels, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, each kid will receive 65 pretzels.
To find out how many more pretzels James would need to bring if every kid wanted 70 pretzels, subtract the 65 pretzels each kid will receive from the desired number of pretzels per kid.
70 - 65 = 5
So, if every kid wanted 70 pretzels, James would need to bring an additional 5 pretzels.
