Jenny has 50 square tiles. She arranges the tiles into a rectangular array of 4 rows. How many tiles will be left over?

Asked by Michael05

Answer (3)

Well if you have four rows, then you could put them in four groups of twelve. 12 times 4 is 48, meaning you would have two left over.

The number of **left over tiles **is an illustration of remainder operation .
There are 2 tiles left over
The **number **of **tiles **is given as:
Tiles = 50
The **number **of **rows **is given as:
Rows = 4
Divide the **number of tiles **by the number of rows , then we note the **remainder **of the division .
This **operation **is represented as:
n = Tiles % Rows
So, we have:
n = 50 % 4
The **remainder **of 50/4 is 2.
So, we have:
n = 2
Hence, the number of **left over tiles **is 2

Jenny will have 2 tiles left over after arranging her 50 tiles into 4 rows. She can place 12 tiles in each row, using a total of 48 tiles. This leaves her with 2 remaining tiles.
