Q:

Pizzas cost $14 dollars each. How many pizzas can you buy with $60? Quotient: Remainder: Circle what you did with the remainder. Ignored it. Rounded the quotient up Why?

Accepted Solution

A:
4 pizzas can be bought with $ 60. The quotient and remainder are 4 and 4 respectivelySolution:Given that pizzas cost $ 14 dollars eachTo find: Number of pizzas bought with $ 60Number of pizzas bought with $ 60 = [tex]\frac{60}{14} = 4.2875[/tex]So 4 pizzas can be bought with $ 60To find the quotient and remainder:Here dividend = 60 and divisor = 14[tex]\text { Dividend }=\text { Divisor } \times \text { Quotient }+\text { Remainder }[/tex][tex]60=14 \times \text { Quotient }+\text { Remainder }[/tex]The above equation can be solved by putting Quotient = 4 and Remainder = 4 Hence, quotient and remainder are 4 and 4 respectively
