Question

A school wants to plant some trees in 53 rows. The gardener bought 15019 saplings from nursery. How many least number of saplings should he bring more so that each row has same number of trees.

Answer 1

no.of row =53
no.of saplings =15019
no.of saplings in each row=15019/53
u will get remainder =20
substract it from 53 ,
new value will be = 33
add it to initial value =15012
now divide it=284

Answer 2

Number of rows = 53

Number of equal saplings on each row:

Number on each row = 15,019 ÷ 53 = 283 remaining 20

Find the number of saplings he need to buy to make another row:

Number of saplings = 53 - 20 = 33

Answer: He should bring in 33 more saplings to have 284 equal rows.
