Question

Zookeeper Alan wants to give an equal number of bananas to the 29 monkeys at the zoo. If there are 567 bananas, how many does each monkey get? How many bananas will Alan be left with? Each monkey gets bananas. Alan is left with bananas.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Each monkey gets 19 bananas.
2. Alan is left with 16 bananas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of bananas: x = 567

Number of monkeys: 29

Since it is given that each monkey gets equal number of bananas, we need to find a multiple of 29 nearest to and less than 567.

So we divide 567 by 29 and we get 19.5517.

Now,

29*19 = 551

Hence, each monkey will get 19 bananas

Remaining bananas,

Total - bananas given to monkeys i.e

567-551 = 16.

Hence Alan will be left with 16 bananas.

Cheers!
