Remainder

What is a remainder:

The remainder is the part left over when we divide a number by another number and it does not divide evenly.
In a fraction, we will see that the remaining part also needs to be divided equally, and this will be our remainder – exactly that equal part that is divided among everyone!

Remainder of a fraction

In an improper fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, there are 33 ways to find the remainder:

  1. The first method – Understanding approach
  2. The second method – Mathematical approach
  3. The third method – Converting an improper fraction to a mixed number

Remainder of a decimal fraction

To find the remainder of a decimal fraction, proceed as follows:
Everything that appears to the left of the decimal point is called the whole number.
Everything that appears to the right of the decimal point is called the remainder.

Remainder of a mixed number

In a mixed number composed of a whole number and a fraction -
the remainder is always the non-whole part!
This means that the remainder is always the fractional part of the mixed number.

Exercise #1

Determine the number of tenths in the following number:

1.3

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Understand the problem of finding the number of tenths in 1.3.
  • Step 2: Note that the decimal number 1.3 is composed of the whole number 1 and the decimal fraction 0.3.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the tenths place is the first digit after the decimal point.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The problem asks us to count the number of tenths in the decimal number 1.3. This involves understanding the place value of each digit.

Step 2: In the decimal 1.3, the digit '1' represents the whole number and does not contribute to the count of tenths. The digit '3' is in the tenths place.

Step 3: Since the digit '3' is in the tenths place, it denotes 3 tenths or the fraction 310\frac{3}{10}.

Therefore, the number of tenths in 1.3 is 3 3 .

Therefore, the number of ones in the number 0.4 is 00.

Answer

0

Exercise #3

Determine the number of ones in the following number:

0.07

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll examine the given decimal number, 0.070.07, to identify how many '1's it contains.

Let's break down the number 0.070.07:

  • The digit to the left of the decimal is 00, which is the ones place. It is not '1'.
  • The first digit after the decimal point is 00, which represents tenths. This is also not '1'.
  • The next digit is 77, which represents hundredths. This digit is also not '1'.

None of the digits in the number 0.070.07 are equal to '1'.

Therefore, the number of ones in 0.070.07 is 0.

Answer

0

Exercise #4

Determine the number of hundredths in the following number:

0.96

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Define the place value of each digit in the decimal number.
  • Step 2: Identify the specific digit in the hundredths place.
  • Step 3: Determine the number of hundredths in 0.96.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Consider the decimal number 0.960.96. In decimal representation, the digit immediately after the decimal point represents tenths, and the digit following that represents hundredths.

Step 2: In the number 0.960.96, the digit 99 is in the tenths place, and the digit 66 is in the hundredths place.

Step 3: Therefore, the number of hundredths in 0.960.96 is 66.

Thus, the solution to the problem is that there are 6 hundredths in the number 0.960.96.

Answer

6

Exercise #5

Determine the number of ones in the following number:

0.81

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to examine the decimal number 0.810.81 and count the number of '1's present:

  • The first digit after the decimal point is 88.
  • The second digit after the decimal point is 11.

Now, count the number of '1's in 0.810.81:

There is only one '1' in the entire number 0.810.81 because it appears only once after the decimal point.

Thus, the total number of ones in 0.810.81 is 0, since the task is to count ones in the whole number, and there are no ones in the integer part of 00, nor in the remaining digits 88.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 00, which corresponds to choice 3.

Answer

0

Exercise #6

Write the fraction as a mixed number:

107= \frac{10}{7}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we will convert the given improper fraction 107\frac{10}{7} to a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

  • Step 1: Divide the numerator (10) by the denominator (7). This gives a quotient and a remainder.

  • Step 2: Calculating 10÷710 \div 7 gives a quotient of 1 because 7 goes into 10 once.

  • Step 3: Multiply the quotient by the divisor (1×7=7 1 \times 7 = 7 ).

  • Step 4: Subtract the product obtained in step 3 from the original numerator to find the remainder: 107=310 - 7 = 3.

  • Step 5: Compose the mixed number using the quotient as the whole number and the remainder over the divisor as the fraction part: 37\frac{3}{7}.

Thus, the mixed number representation of 107\frac{10}{7} is 137\mathbf{1\frac{3}{7}}.

Answer

137 1\frac{3}{7}

Exercise #7

Write the fraction as a mixed number:

128= \frac{12}{8}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to convert the improper fraction 128 \frac{12}{8} into a mixed number.

Here's how we'll do it:

  • The first step is to divide the numerator by the denominator: 12÷8 12 \div 8 .
  • This division gives us a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 4.
  • The quotient, 1, becomes the whole number part of our mixed number.
  • The remainder is used as the new numerator over the original denominator to form the fractional part: 48\frac{4}{8}.
  • The mixed number is thus 148 1\frac{4}{8} .
  • Finally, since 48\frac{4}{8} can be simplified, we reduce it to 12\frac{1}{2}.

Thus, the mixed number representation is correctly simplified as 112 1\frac{1}{2} .

However, when selecting from the given choices, the correct choice based on the options provided is 148 1\frac{4}{8} (Choice 4), which matches the unsimplified form.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 148 1\frac{4}{8} .

Exercise #8

Write the fraction as a mixed number:

139= \frac{13}{9}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert the improper fraction 139\frac{13}{9} into a mixed number, we follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Perform the division of the numerator by the denominator. Divide 13 by 9.
  • Step 2: Determine the whole number part by using the quotient of the division.
  • Step 3: Find the remainder to establish the fractional part.
  • Step 4: Write the mixed number using the whole number from Step 2 and the fractional part formed by the remainder and original denominator.

Let's carry out these steps in detail:

Divide 13 by 9:

13÷9=1 13 \div 9 = 1 with a remainder of 4 4 .

This division tells us that 9 fits into 13 a total of 1 time, with a remainder of 4.

The whole number part of our mixed number is therefore 1, and the remainder 4 forms the numerator of our fractional part over the original denominator, which is 9.

So, the fractional part is 49\frac{4}{9}.

Therefore, the improper fraction 139\frac{13}{9} as a mixed number is 149\mathbf{1\frac{4}{9}}.

Answer

149 1\frac{4}{9}
