When Sarah divided a number by 5, the quotient was 247 with a remainder. What is one possible dividend? With a complete sentence, explain how you found the dividend.

One possible dividend is 1,237

Step-by-step explanation:

One possible dividend will be 1,237

This is because of we multiply 247 by 5, we get 1,235 and we can add 2 so we can have remainder 2

The difference between the next factor of 5 and the last one which has 247 as the multiple of 5 is 5

So adding 1,2,3 and 4 to the product will give a number that is not up to the next multiple of 5 and thus we can have our dividend with the remainder

180

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
