Question

A park guide plans the swan boat rides for 40 people. Each boat can carry 6 people at a time. What is the best way to interpret the remainder of 40/6 in this situation so that everyone gets a ride?

How do I show the work?

Answer 1

Work the problem. What's the easiest way to make sure that everyone gets a ride?

Answer 2

We divided 40/6 and got remainder 4.

Answer 3

What are you going to do with this remainder?

Answer 4

Choices are

Write the remainder as a fraction
Use the remainder as the answer
Use only the quotient
Add 1 tot the quotient

Answer 5

Six people ride in the boat except the last 4 people ride in the swan boat by themselves.

Answer 6

INCREASE THE QUOTIENT BY 1

Answer 7

Thank you I have a hard time in math division and I love how you showed me the steps 😊😊

Answer 8

yo are the worst

Answer 9

this helped one of my students. thank you Ali and Ms.sue

To interpret the remainder of the division 40/6 in this situation, we need to consider how many people will be left without a ride.

To show the work, we can use long division:

1. Write down the division problem: 40 ÷ 6.
2. Divide the first digit of the dividend (4) by the divisor (6), which gives us a quotient of 0 and a remainder of 4. Write down the quotient above the line.
- 0 (quotient)
-----
6 | 40
3. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (0) and divide it by the divisor (6). The quotient is 0, and the remainder is 0. Write down the quotient.
- 0 (quotient)
-----
6 | 40
0
4. Since we have no more digits to bring down, the division is complete. The remainder is 0.

In this situation, the remainder of 0 indicates that everyone will be able to get a ride. There will be no one left without a ride because the number of boats (40/6 = 6 boats) perfectly accommodates the total number of people (40).
