Our answer will be . . .
6 stickers. (Bonus: we will have 4 stickers left over.)
Here's why:
Yo. So. We got stickers. 100 of 'em to be exact. We also got 16 children. We have to give each child the same numbers of stickers.
Now, usually you would proabably just go something like, "Oh, that's easy! Divide 100 by 16 to get 6.25. Boom, done!" Yea. . . . no.
This is a real-life situated problem. Put yourself in the shoes of the person with 100 stickers. If you had to give those 10 stickers to 16 children evenly, you wouldn't just give 0.25 (or 1/4), or a quarter, of a sticker to each child, no! You would give each child the maximum amount of whole, or entire, stickers that you could without giving more to certain children.
Basically, due to the nature of this problem, our answer must be a whole number.
We already have 6.25 stickers for each child from when we divided 100 by 16. We can take that number and take the whole number from it (in this case, take the 6 from 6.25) to find the maximum amount of stickers. So, 6 stickers is the amount of stickers each child will get.
Therefore, our answer is 6 stickers.
Bonus:
Let's say, for the sake of the problem, or perhaps just to be extra, we also have to find the amount of stickers we'll have left over. To do so is actually surprisingly simple; all we do is multiply the amount of stickers each child will get by the amount of children there are. The difference between our product and the total amount of stickers we had will be how many stickers we have left.
Each of the 16 children got 6 stickers. We should multiply 16 by 6 to get the amount of stickers we gave to the children. 16 * 6 = 96. That means we gave away 96 of our 100 stickers to the children.
We now know that 96 is the amount of stickers we gave away. We also know that we had 100 stickers in total (from the beginning). We can subtract the 96 stickers we gave away with the 100 stickers we had from the start to find the amount of stickers that we still have. 100 - 96 = 4. This means that we still have 4 of the 100 stickers.
Therefore, overall, each child will get 6 stickers; we, on the other hand, will have 4 stickers left over.
