Question

Then, each pirate will need eggs per month for cooking.

• A. 95
• B. 93
• C. 82
• D. 102

Answer 1

The correct option is A 95

12 pirates need altogether 1140 eggs for cooking.
To find number of eggs for each pirate, divide 1140 by 12.

So, here,
Divisor = $12$
Dividend = $1140$

Let's write $1140$ in expanded form using place value.
$\Rightarrow 1140=1000+100+40$

Now, divide $1140$ by $12$ using the box method.

You got the partial quotients as :
$83,8$ and $4$

∴ Final quotient = $83+8+4=95$

So, each pirate needs $95$ eggs per month for cooking.
