To determine how many apples are left over when 60 apples are packed into bags containing 8 apples each, follow these steps:
1. Determine Total Apples and Size of Each Bag:
- Total apples: 60
- Apples per bag: 8
2. Calculate the Number of Complete Bags:
- Divide the total number of apples by the number of apples each bag can hold.
[tex]\[
\text{Number of bags} = \left\lfloor \frac{60}{8} \right\rfloor
\][/tex]
Performing the division,
[tex]\[
\frac{60}{8} = 7.5
\][/tex]
- Since you can't have a fraction of a bag, take the integer part of the division.
[tex]\[
\left\lfloor 7.5 \right\rfloor = 7
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the Leftover Apples:
- Determine how many apples have been packed into the 7 complete bags.
[tex]\[
\text{Apples in 7 bags} = 7 \times 8 = 56
\][/tex]
- Subtract the number of packed apples from the total number of apples to find the leftover apples.
[tex]\[
\text{Leftover apples} = 60 - 56 = 4
\][/tex]
Therefore, after packing 60 apples into bags containing 8 apples each, there are 4 apples left over.
