Question

Miss Underwood has 70 gold stickers. She wants to give the same number of stickers to each of her 8 students. If she gives away as many stickers as she can, how many stickers will be left over?

Divide to find out

Answer 2

i did it was 8.75

Answer 3

It says how many will be 'left over".

Answer 4

but it said it was wrong

Answer 5

That's because you don't understand how to find how many stickers are left over. The 8 you found represents how many stickers was given to each student. You have to find the total number of stickers that were given to all the students then subtract that amount from 70 to find out how many are left over.

Answer 6

oh

Answer 7

so subtract 8 from 70

Answer 8

Eight is only how many stickers were given to EACH student, but not the TOTAL number of stickers given to all the students.

Answer 9

oh
