Question

Alex has 10 chocolate bars and each chocolate bar has 6 square pieces. He wants to divide them between his 7 cousins equally. How many square pieces does each get?

Answer 1

Number of chocolate bars = 10
Number of square pieces in each bar = 6
Total number of squares available = 10 $\times$ 6 = 60

Number of cousins = 7
So, to know how many square pieces each cousin gets, we need to divide 60 by 7.

$$\begin{array}{c}8\\ 760\\ -\underset{–}{56}2\\ 4\end{array}$$Thus we have a quotient of 8 and a remainder of 4.
So each cousin will get 8 square pieces and in the end 4 square pieces will be left with Alex.
