Ieda bakes 73 cupcakes and accidentally drops 5 of them. She divides them equally into 13 containers for a bake sale for the school band. How many cupcakes does Ieda have left

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 left

Step-by-step explanation:

If she starts out with 73 and drops 5 she is left with 68, an you cannot evenly divide 68 and 13 so you divide it as much as you can evenly which is five containers leaving 3 extra cupcakes.

For this case we have that initially there are 73 cupcakes, if Leda dropped 5 then we are left with:

[tex]73-5 = 68[/tex]

Now, you must equally divide the 68 cupcakes into 13 containers:

putting 5 cupcakes in each of the 13 containers we have;

[tex]13 * 5 = 65[/tex]

[tex]68-65=3[/tex]

So, we have 3 cupcakes left.

Answer:

3 cupcakes
