For Fall Festival, Mrs. Marco bought 6 bags of Golden Delicious apples. She handed out 43 apples and had 5 left over. How many apples were in each bag?
you should divid 48 by 6
no idea
43-6 5
43 + 5 = 48
48 / 6 = ?
To find out how many apples were in each bag, we need to follow these steps:
1. Subtract the number of apples handed out from the total number of apples:
Total apples - Apples handed out = Apples left over
In this case, Mrs. Marco bought 6 bags of Golden Delicious apples, so the total number of apples is 6 bags.
Mrs. Marco handed out 43 apples, and she was left with 5 apples.
Therefore, the equation becomes: 6 bags - 43 apples = 5 apples
2. Add the number of apples left over to the apples handed out:
Apples left over + Apples handed out = Total apples
By rearranging the equation, we can solve for the number of apples in each bag.
5 apples + 43 apples = Total apples
3. Calculate the total number of apples:
5 apples + 43 apples = Total apples
48 apples = Total apples
4. Divide the total number of apples by the number of bags:
Total apples ÷ Number of bags = Apples in each bag
48 apples ÷ 6 bags = Apples in each bag
Therefore, there were 8 apples in each bag.
