Given:
Gracie is sharing 75 marshminnows among 4 of her friends.
Each of her friends gets the same number of marshminnows, and she gives them as many marshminnows as possible.
To find:
The remaining number of marshminnows she has.
Solution:
We have,
Total number of marshminnows = 75
Number of friends = 4
Divide 75 by 4.
[tex]4|\overline{75}|{18}\\ -4\\\text{\quad }\overline {35} \\ -32\\\text{\quad }\overline {\ 3\qaud }[/tex]
Here, quotient is 18 and remainder is 3. It means, each friend can be get maximum 18 marshminnows and the number of remaining marshminnows is 3.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
