Question

Each plant requires 8 kg of manure. Alex has 108 kg of manure. For how many plants can he provide the manure?

• A. 13

Answer 1

The correct option is A 13
Total manure = 108 kg
Manure required for each plant = 8 kg

Using long division:
$$\begin{array}{c}13\\ 8108\\ -082\\ \overline{28}\\ -24\\ \overline{4}\end{array}$$

Thus, he will be able to provide manure for 13 plants only.
