The manager of a plant nursery wants to arrange 1,207 plants in 7 equal rows. how many plants will each row have? will there be any left over?

Each row will have 172 plants, 3 plants will be left over

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question is basically asking you to divide.

To prove, it's asking you to pass out 1,207 plants to 7 EQUAL groups, which means pass out 1,207 plants until there's no more.

Let's get on with the problem.

So its asking you to divide 1,207 plants / 7 rows. ( This is all we know right now. )

We don't know the quotient... yet.

So think what the question is asking you to do...

After that, tell yourself, can 7 go into 1. You say "NO" right?

BUT, can 7 go into 1,2. YES! Only 1 time though. 12 - 7 = 5 bring down the 0. (50)

Think of an Multiply equation that gets you close to "50". Like 7 x 7 = 49.

When you do, do 50 - 49 = 1 and bring down the 7. (17). Final step: Think of a same equation that gets you close to 17, Like 7 x 2 = 14. 17 - 14 = 3 There's no more dights to bring down; You can't divide no more. So You're answer is 172 R3 (Remainder 3).
