Question

A florist has ordered 632 roses for valentines day. if the roses are divided into 50 bouquets, how many will each roses bouquet have, and how many roses will be left over. (show your work)

Answer 1

12 in each bouquet, 32 left over

Explanation:

You can solve this my long division where remainder is 32. Or you can reason this, since 50 is an even number, the total must be _00 or _50. The largest is 600. so 600/50 is 12, that means 632-600 is 32 roses left
