🤔 Part C: Critical Thinking
Imagine you have 27 stickers and want to share them equally among your 5 friends. How many stickers will each friend get, and how many stickers will be left over (the remainder)? Explain your thinking.
Click for Answer
Each friend will get 5 stickers, and there will be 2 stickers left over. To find this, you divide 27 by 5. 5 goes into 27 five times (5 x 5 = 25). The difference between 27 and 25 is 2, which is the remainder.
