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?
How do you get 32 tiles?Can you please explain?Thanks
144/36 = 4 tiles in each group
8 * 4 = 32
144 tiles SEPARATED (meaning divided) into 36 equal groups . So 144/36 =4 . Sara played the game until there were 8 GROUPS so 4x8=32 tiles :)
thank you very much
To find out how many tiles were left when Sara finished playing the game, we need to first determine the number of tiles in each group and then calculate how many groups remained.
Given that the game starts with 144 tiles separated into 36 equal groups, we can divide the total number of tiles by the number of groups to find the number of tiles in each group:
144 tiles / 36 groups = 4 tiles per group
Now, we know that Sara played until there were 8 groups of tiles left. To find the total number of tiles remaining, we multiply the number of groups remaining by the number of tiles per group:
8 groups * 4 tiles per group = 32 tiles remaining
Therefore, when Sara finished playing the game, there were 32 tiles left.
