Question

As part of decorating the school wall, stickers needed to be arranged in rows and columns. If they are to be sticked in 16 rows, out of the 245 stickers available, how many stickers will be left out?

• A. 4
• B. 1
• C. 8
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is D 5

Total number of stickers = 245
Number of rows = 16
To find out the number of stickers left out, we need to divide 245 by 16 and find the remainder.

$$\begin{array}{c}15\\ 16245\\ -\underset{–}{16}2\\ 85\\ -\underset{–}{80}\\ 5\end{array}$$ So, we have a remainder of 5.
Thus, 5 stickers will be left out.
