Question

Alex has 14 chocolate bars, each chocolate bar has 8 squares. He wants to divide them equally among nine friends. Will he be able to divide them fully? How many square pieces does each friend get?

Answer 1

Number of chocolate bars = 14
Number of square pieces per chocolate bar = 8
Total number of square pieces = 14 $\times$ 8 = 112

Now to divide them among nine friends, divide 112 by 9.


The remainder is 4, so the chocolate bars cannot be divided fully among 9 friends as 4 will be left.

Each of the friends will get 12 square pieces.
