Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. Lilia uses 5 craft sticks to make one star.
2. Lilia has a total of 19 craft sticks.
3. We need to determine how many complete stars Lilia can make.
STEP 2
1. Define the division problem.
2. Perform the division to find the quotient and remainder.
3. Interpret the quotient in the context of the problem.
STEP 3
Define the division problem using the total number of craft sticks and the number needed per star.
STEP 4
Perform the division to find the quotient and remainder.
Divide 19 by 5:
- 5 goes into 19 a total of 3 times (since ).
- Subtract 15 from 19 to find the remainder: .
So, the division gives a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 4.
STEP 5
Interpret the quotient in the context of the problem.
The quotient of 3 indicates that Lilia can make 3 complete stars with the 19 craft sticks she has.
Lilia makes stars.
