Question

1. processes & practices reason mitzi has 79 coins. she divides the coins equally among herself and her 3 brothers. mitzi will keep any coins left over. how many coins does each person get?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of people

Mitzi and her 3 brothers, so total people is \(1 + 3=4\).

Step2: Divide the total coins by the number of people

We have 79 coins and 4 people. So we do the division \(79\div4\).
When we divide 79 by 4, \(4\times19 = 76\) and \(79-76 = 3\). So the quotient is 19 and the remainder is 3. But the question is how many coins each person gets (the quotient, since the remainder is kept by Mitzi, but each person gets the equal part). Wait, actually, when dividing equally, each person gets the quotient, and the remainder is the extra Mitzi keeps. So \(79\div4 = 19\) with a remainder of 3. So each person gets 19 coins, and Mitzi keeps the 3 extra.

Answer:

Each person gets 19 coins.
