Answer:"Sarah has 15 cookies. She wants to share them equally among her 3 friends. How many cookies will each friend get, and how many cookies will Sarah have left?"
Explanation:
"Sarah has 15 cookies. She wants to share them equally among her 3 friends. How many cookies will each friend get, and how many cookies will Sarah have left?"
To solve this problem, we need to divide the total number of cookies (15) by the number of friends (3).
15 divided by 3 equals 5. So each friend will get 5 cookies.
To find out how many cookies Sarah will have left, we can subtract the number of cookies each friend receives from the total number of cookies.
15 - (3 x 5) = 15 - 15 = 0.
Therefore, Sarah will have 0 cookies left.
To find the answer as the quotient plus 1, we add 1 to the quotient of 5.
5 + 1 = 6.
So each friend will get 6 cookies, and Sarah will have 0 cookies left.
