Question

Six friends shared 79 trading cards and kept a record of how they did it. What does 13 represent?

Answer 1

Hence 13 is the quotient and the minimum number of card given to each friend while one card is either left or pick by one of them.

Explanation:

If Six friends shared 79 trading cards and kept a record of how they did it, then the concept behind the sharing of cards would have been that it is shared equally.

Thus, the number received by each friend would be

= 79/6

= 13 remainder 1

Hence 13 is the quotient and the minimum number of card given to each friend while one card is either left or pick by one of them.

Answer 2

79 /6 =

6 goes in to 79 13 times with 1 left over

13 1/6

each of the six friends get 13 cards and there is 1 left over that no one gets(unless they divide the card into 6 pieces)
