Question

If the orchard has 200 seedlings and 12 are planted in each row, how many rows will be filled? In problem 1, what does the remainder represent?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• 16 rows
• the number of seedlings in the unfilled row

Explanation:

(200 seedlings)/(12 seedlings/row) = 16 8/12 rows

16 rows will be filled, with 8 seedlings left over.

The remainder represents the number of seedlings that are planted in the unfilled row.
