Question

Kristin is filling 3 jars with jellybeans. If she has 1,856 jellybeans and wants to split them evenly between the jars, will Kristin have any jellybeans left over? If so, how many?

Answer 1

Yes, Kristin will have 2 jelly beans left

Explanation:

Total jelly beans = 1,856

Total jars = 3

Kristin is filling 3 jars with jellybeans

She wants to split them evenly between the jars, will Kristin have any jellybeans left over?

Jellybeans in a jar = total jellybeans / total jar

= 1,856 / 3

= 618 remainder 2

Yes, Kristin will have jelly beans left

Kristin will have 2 jellybeans left

Check:

618 × 3 = 1,854

Remaining jellybeans = 1,856 - 1,854

= 2 jellybeans
