Question

alec has 14 fins to put on 3 bottle rockets. he puts the same number of fins on each rocket, and he uses as many fins as he can. how many fins does alec put on each rocket? 14 ÷ 3

Explanation:

Step1: Perform division

We need to divide 14 by 3. The division is $14\div3$.

Step2: Find the quotient

When we divide 14 by 3, we get a quotient of 4 and a remainder of 2. Since we want the maximum number of fins on each rocket (using as many as possible), we take the quotient. So $14\div3 = 4$ with a remainder of 2.

Answer:

4
