- Problem 1: The question asks for the leftover pieces of candy after sharing 214 pieces evenly among 28 classmates. This requires finding the remainder of the division 214 ÷ 28.
- Calculation: 214 ÷ 28 = 7 with a remainder of 18 (since 28 × 7 = 196, and 214 - 196 = 18).
- Interpretation: The remainder represents the leftover pieces that cannot be evenly distributed.
- Answer: 18 pieces will be leftover. Shade "Remainder Only".
- Problem 2: The question asks how much money each of the 8 classes will receive if $1,522 is shared evenly. This requires dividing the total amount by the number of classes and interpreting the result as a decimal or fraction since money can be divided into cents.
- Calculation: 1522 ÷ 8 = 190.25.
- Interpretation: Each class receives $190.25, which includes dollars and cents (a decimal).
- Answer: Each class will receive $190.25. Shade "Remainder as a fraction or decimal".
