Problema Solution

Tina has 896 tickets to distribute to nine grade 4 classes.Each class will get the same number of tickets.The least number of tickets that will be left to Tina is _____?a. 5 b. 6 c.7 d.8

Answer provided by our tutors

Tina will have at least 5 tickets left. This is because:

1. 896 tickets / 9 classes = 99.55555 people. Of course, there can't be 0.55555 of a person in those classes, so, the 0.55555 left over corresponds to the amount of tickets Tina will have left.

2. 99 people X 9 Classes = 891 people, so 891 tickets needed.

3. 896 tickets - 891 people = 5 left over for Tina.

 

So the answer is A, 5.
