3
OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/5 + 2/5 = 5/5 = 1 (integer)
remainder is 3
8/5 + 2/5 = 10/5 = 2 (integer)
remainder is 3
whichever n that works for the equation to be an integer has remainder 3 when divided by 5.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
n=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1+2/5=3/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
where is the remainder of 3?

n=3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 divided by 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3/5+2/5=5/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3/5 = 0 and the remainder is 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1

3/5=.6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8+2/5=10/5=2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, but if they asked for remainder you don't get to the decimal part
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what you are trying to say is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
13/5 + 2/5 = 15/5 = 3
13/5 = 2 r 3

8/5 gives remainder 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3/5 gives remainder 3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, the reaminder is going to be 3.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so a fraction can have a remainder?

yes?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3/5 has a remainder of 3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A fraction doesn't have remainder, but a number does, they didn't ask for a remainder for n/5, only they asked a remainder for n.
3/5, the n = 3. The remainder of 3 when divided by the number 5 is 3.
And so is the remainder for all values of n allowed if the equation must be an integer.
n = 3, 8, 13, 18,..

ahh
