Question

There are 43 children at a school. they want to make teams with 8 children on each team for kickball. one of the children goes home. how many complete teams can they​ make? explain.

Answer 1

They can make 5 complete teams of 8 children even after one child goes home.

Explanation:

If there are 43 children and they want to make teams of 8, we can find out how many complete teams they can make by dividing the total number of children by the number of children per team:

• 43 ÷ 8 = 5 remainder 3

This means that they can make 5 complete teams of 8 children, with 3 children left over.

However, since one child goes home, there are only 42 children left. We can repeat the division:

• 42 ÷ 8 = 5 remainder 2

This means that they can make 5 complete teams of 8 children, with 2 children left over. Therefore, they can make 5 complete teams of 8 children even after one child goes home.
