Answer:
A. 8 rows.
B. 3 toy soldiers.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that Meliza has 43 toys soldiers, she line them up 5 to fight imaginary zombies .
A. Let us find the greatest multiple of 5 from 43.
Multiples of 5 are: 5,10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45,..
We can see the greatest multiple of 5 from 43 is 40.
Let us divide 40 by 5 to find the number of rows that Meliza can make.
[tex]\text{Number of rows with 5 soldiers in each row}=\frac{40}{5}=8[/tex]
Therefore, Meliza can make 8 rows of 5 from 43 toy soldiers.
B. To find the number of soldier in last row we will subtract 40 from 43.
[tex]\text{Number of toy soldier in last row}=43-40=3[/tex]
Therefore, the number of toy soldiers in last row will be 3 soldiers.
