6) Cody wanted to give each of his forty-five friends an equal amount of
candy. At the store he bought six hundred eighty pieces total to give to
them. He many more pieces should he have bought so he didn't have
any extra pieces?

Answer 1

Answer:

40 more pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Cody wants to EQUALLY divide 680 candy amongst 45 friends.

That can't be possible because 45 doesn't evenly go into 680. If we do the division, we see:

680/45 = 15.11

So there are some remaining. How many?

45 * 15 = 675

So, the rest are remaining (680 - 675 = 5)

For Cody to equally distribute, he needs how many more? That number should be multiple of 45.

Since 45 * 15 = 675 which is less than 680, to get next number that 45 goes into, we do 45 * 16 = 720

Cody already has 680, he needs 720 altogether for EQUAL SHARE. He would need:

720 - 680 = 40 candy more
