Question

Tom has 246 apples. He divides them evenly among his 6 friends. So, Tom gives apples to each of his friends.

• A. 41
• B. 32
• C. 46

Answer 1

The correct option is A 41

Number of apples with Tom = 246
Number of Tom's friends = 6

∴ Number of apples with each friend = 246 $÷$ 6

Let us divide the numbers using place value.

So, at first, we write the expanded form of the dividend 246.


Let's divide each of these places with the divisor 6.


After division by place value, we add the partial quotients to get the final answer.

Here, the final quotient is 41.


Hence, each of Tom's friend gets 41 apples.
