Solution

Total number of marbles = 207
Number of marbles in each jar = 12
To find out the number of shelves needed let's divide 207 by 12.
(0.5 Marks)

$\begin{matrix} 1712207 - 12 - -- - 87 - 84 - - - 3 \end{matrix}$
Thus, we have a quotient of 17 and a remainder of 3.
(1 Marks)

$∴$ We need 17 + 1 = 18 jars to put all the marbles and the last jar will have only 3 marbles.
