Terry says the solution to 299 ÷ 40 is 6 with a remainder of 59. His work is shown

below. Explain Terry’s error in thinking, and then find the correct quotient using

the space on the right.

299 / 40 (using long division)

Respuesta :

Your remainder cannot be greater than you’re denominator. So if you’re dividing by 40, the remainder must be less than 40. In this case you’d add one, so the answer is 7 with a Remainder of 19.
