Remainder

What is a remainder:

The remainder is the part left over when we divide a number by another number and it does not divide evenly.
In a fraction, we will see that the remaining part also needs to be divided equally, and this will be our remainder – exactly that equal part that is divided among everyone!

Remainder of a fraction

In an improper fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, there are 33 ways to find the remainder:

  1. The first method – Understanding approach
  2. The second method – Mathematical approach
  3. The third method – Converting an improper fraction to a mixed number

Remainder of a decimal fraction

To find the remainder of a decimal fraction, proceed as follows:
Everything that appears to the left of the decimal point is called the whole number.
Everything that appears to the right of the decimal point is called the remainder.

Remainder of a mixed number

In a mixed number composed of a whole number and a fraction -
the remainder is always the non-whole part!
This means that the remainder is always the fractional part of the mixed number.

Exercise #2

What is the marked part?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve this problem step-by-step:

First, examine the grid and count the total number of sections. Observing the grid, there is a total of 6 columns, each representing equal-sized portions along the grid, as evidenced by vertical lines.

Next, count how many of these sections are colored. The entire portion from the first column to the fourth column is colored. This means we have 4 out of 6 sections that are marked red.

We can then express the colored area as a fraction: 46 \frac{4}{6} .

Answer

46 \frac{4}{6}

Exercise #3

Which figure represents 0.1?

Step-by-Step Solution

The task is to determine which of the given figures correctly represents the decimal fraction 0.1.

To interpret 0.1, we recognize it as 110\frac{1}{10}. This indicates that in a graphical representation of 10 equal parts, 1 part should be shaded. Each figure is assumed to be divided into such equal parts.

Let's analyze the options:

  • Choice 1: Shows 10 equal divisions with 1 part shaded. This potentially represents 0.1 since it shades exactly 1 of 10 parts.
  • Choice 2: Shows 10 equal divisions with more than 1 part shaded. Thus, it represents more than 0.1.
  • Choice 3: Shows 10 equal divisions with numerous parts shaded. It represents a number greater than 0.1.
  • Choice 4: Shows a full shading, representing 1 (i.e., shading all 10 parts), clearly not 0.1.

Hence, the correct choice that correspond to 0.1 is Choice 1. This figure accurately shades exactly 1 out of 10 equal segments.

Therefore, the solution to the problem indicates that choice 1 correctly represents the decimal fraction 0.1.

Exercise #4

What is the marked part?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the fraction of the area that is shaded, we need to analyze the diagram carefully.

  • Step 1: Count the total number of squares in the grid.
  • Step 2: Count the number of shaded squares.
  • Step 3: Calculate the fraction by dividing the number of shaded squares by the total number of squares.
  • Step 4: Compare this fraction with the given choices.

Now, let's execute each step:

Step 1: The grid is structured in terms of columns and rows. Observing the entire structure, we find that there are clearly 10 columns and 1 row of squares, leading to a total of 10×1=1010 \times 1 = 10 squares in the grid.

Step 2: Each square width equals that of one column; 4 shaded sections fill up to 5 sections of columns horizontally:

  • Two small shaded squares (1 width) plus one square is completely filled as part of two columns, making up 2 columns in total.
  • One large shaded rectangle (5 width) fully occupies the width of a large single square (2 columns), counting as 5 columns (2 + 3 more), confirming 2 + 3 column segments cover it.

Step 3: Simplifies the amount as layed means 55 shaded parts.

Step 4: Thus, the fraction calculated is 510\frac{5}{10}, which simplifies to 12\frac{1}{2}.

The correct answer choice corresponds to choices b and c as 510\frac{5}{10} and 12\frac{1}{2} are equivalent by simplification.

Therefore, the answer is:

Exercise #5

What is the marked part?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the marked part, we need to calculate the fraction of the diagram that is shaded red.

First, we count the total number of rectangles in the diagram. There are 10 rectangles visible along a straight line.

Next, we count the number of rectangles shaded red. There are 8 red rectangles in the diagram.

Therefore, the fraction of the total diagram that is marked red is calculated as Number of Red RectanglesTotal Number of Rectangles=810 \frac{\text{Number of Red Rectangles}}{\text{Total Number of Rectangles}} = \frac{8}{10} .

This fraction simplifies to 45 \frac{4}{5} , but the answer provided is in the form 810 \frac{8}{10} , which is equivalent.

Therefore, the marked part of the diagram is 810 \frac{8}{10} .

Exercise #8

Determine the numerical value of the shaded area:

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's analyze the shaded area in terms of grid squares:

  • Step 1: The top rectangle in the grid is completely filled. Let's count the shaded squares horizontally: There are 10 squares across aligned vertically in 1 row, giving 11 as the shaded area.
  • Step 2: The bottom rectangle is partially filled. Observe it spans 66 squares horizontally by 11 square height in the grid row. The shaded area will, therefore, be 0.60.6 as it spans only 60%60\% of the horizontal extent.
  • Step 3: Add both shaded areas of the rectangles from step 1 and step 2: 11 (top) and 0.60.6 (bottom).

Thus, the total shaded area is 1+0.6=1.61 + 0.6 = 1.6.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1.61.6.
