A computer game starts with a set of 144 tiles separated into 36 equal groups.Sara played the game until there were 8 groups of tiles left.How many tiles were left when Sara finished?
32 tiles left over
Can you explain to me the procedure to get 32 tiles. Thank you for your help.
There were 36 equal groups of 4 tiles each. She left with 8 groups left, or 8x4 tiles.
To find the number of tiles left when Sara finished, we need to determine how many tiles are in 8 groups.
Given that there were originally 36 groups, and each group contains 144 tiles, the total number of tiles at the start is 36 * 144 = 5,184.
Since Sara played until there were 8 groups left, we can calculate the number of tiles left by multiplying the number of groups remaining by the number of tiles in each group: 8 * 144 = 1,152.
Therefore, when Sara finished playing the game, there were 1,152 tiles left.
