Question

$\$49$ is distributed equally among $7$ men. How much money will each person get?

• A. $\$343,$ because $\$49\times 7=\$343$
• B. $\$42,$ because $\$49-7=\$42$
• C. $\$7,$ because $\$49÷7=\$7$
• D. $\$3,$ because $\$49÷7=\$3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\$7,$ because $\$49÷7=\$7$

Money received by $7$ men $=\$49$

Amount of money each man gets $=\frac{\text{total money}}{\text{number of men}}$

$=49÷7=7R0$Quotient = 7
Remainder = 0
Therefore, each men gets $\$7$ with $\$0$ left over.
