Question

William has evenly distributed 20 candies among his three friends. After the candy has been distributed, how many candies are left with William?

• A. 6
• B. 7
• C. 8
• D. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is A 6

Total number of candies $=20$
Number of friends$=3$
Number of candies each of his friends got = Total number of candies $÷$ number of friends
$=20÷3$
Let's divide 20 by 3.Where, quotient $=6$
remainder $=2$
Hence, $20÷3=6\text{R}2$
Remainder is 2 so, the number of candies left with William $=2$
