Question

179 apples are distributed equally among 4 friends. If 15 apples are found rotten, then each friend gets apples.

• A. 51
• B. 41
• C. 31

Answer 1

The correct option is B 41

Total number of apples = 179
Number of apples found rotten = 15

∴ Number of apples available for distribution = 179 - 15 = 164

Number of friends = 4

So, number of apples with each friend = 164 $÷$ 4

Let us divide the numbers
using place value.

So, at first, we write the expanded form of the dividend 164.


Let's divide each of these places with the divisor 4.


After division by place value, we add all the partial quotients to get the final answer.

Here, the final quotient becomes 41.


Hence, each friend gets 41 apples.
