question

The members of the craft club at Hope Valley Elementary School are making tie-dye headbands. There are 13 white headbands and 4 girls, and each girl tie-dyes the same number of headbands.

Complete the sentence.

Each girl tie-dyes headbands, with left over.

solution

There are 13 headbands and 4 girls. First, find the multiple of 4 that is just below 13. Try a few numbers and see how close to 13 you can get.

So, each girl tie-dyes 3 headbands. Together, they use 12 of the 13 headbands.

Next, find the number of headbands left over. Subtract.

–

So, there is 1 headband left over.
