There are 73 people in a dance group.
If the dancers are divided into 10 groups of 10 dancers, then how many dancers will be left without a group?
To solve this problem, we'll proceed with the following steps:
Let's go through the steps:
Step 1: Divide 73 (total dancers) by 10 (dancers per group). We calculate:
This division tells us that we can form 7 complete groups of 10 dancers each, with a remainder indicating the number of dancers left ungrouped.
Step 2: The remainder from the division is 3, indicating there are 3 dancers left without a group.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is dancers remain without a group.
If we have 67 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 5 tens and 4 ones?
The quotient is how many complete groups you can make (7 groups of 10). The remainder is what's left over after making those groups (3 dancers).
That actually works perfectly! gives the same answer. Division with remainder and subtraction are just different ways to solve the same problem.
The method stays the same! Divide the total by the new group size. The remainder will tell you how many people don't fit into complete groups.
No! The remainder must always be smaller than what you're dividing by. If it's not, you can make another complete group.
Multiply: (quotient × divisor) + remainder = original number. For this problem: ✓
