Answer 4

No! See, you've to distribute 61 watermelons in 5 crates.

So, in each container can hold 12 watermelons at most. So, 5 crates will hold = 60 watermelons (at most)

Thus, 1 will left over.

Answer 5

You see what I did? I divided 61 by 5 and the remainder was 1. So, 1 was left over.

Rest you can figure out, I guess.
