Question

6 artists can paint a total of 1550 murals. The number of murals left unpainted will be .

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2

Total number of murals = 1550
Total number of artists = 6

To find number of murals left unpainted, calculate the remainder left after dividing 1550 by 6.

So, calculating $1550÷6$,


∴ The final quotient is $200+50+8=258$ and the remainder left is 2.

So, number of murals left unpainted will be 2.
