12 can go into 62, 5 times
We will have a remainder of 2
Therefore, our final answer is that 12 can go into 62 five times. And their will be a remainder of 2.
A word problem to represent this:- James had 62 apples, he wanted to give 12 friends apples. How much apples will each get and how much will be left for james. (He wants to give everyone a fair amount)
We have our equation: 12x=62
12x=62
12/12= 62/12
x=5 and remainder of 2
So each of James friends get 5 apples and James gets 2 for himself.
