each friend get? Are there any chips left over?
A) Each friend gets 3, there are 3 left over
B) Each friend gets 3, there are 4 left over
C) Each friend gets 3, there are 2 left over
D) Each friend gets 3, there are 5 left over

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Each friend gets 3, there are 4 left over

Step-by-step explanation:

Caden starts with 40 chips.

He takes 12 chips for himself.

40 - 12 = 28

He now has 28 chips left to divide evenly by 8.

28/8 = 3 remainder 4

Check: 3 × 8 = 24, and 24 + 4 = 28

Answer: B) Each friend gets 3, there are 4 left over
