QuestionTom has 16 books and some empty boxes. He can put 5 books in each box. How many boxes can he fill completely? How many books will be left over?
Number of boxes he can fill completely == \square
Number of books left over == \square

Studdy Solution
To determine the number of books left over after filling the boxes, we need to calculate the remainder of the division of the total number of books by the number of books each box can hold.
Number of books left over=16mod5 \text{Number of books left over} = 16 \mod 5
Calculate the remainder:
16mod5=1 16 \mod 5 = 1
Solution: Number of boxes he can fill completely=3\text{Number of boxes he can fill completely} = 3 Number of books left over=1\text{Number of books left over} = 1
