SK's answer to Aniq's Primary 4 Maths Singapore question.
48 / 5 = 9.6. Where is the ‘remainder 3’? I’ so confused??
9x5 = 45
48 - 45 = remainder 3
48 - 45 = remainder 3
I’m sorry but isn’t ‘divided’ means divide and not times?
And where did the 9 come from?
And the question did not said anything about subtracting?
I’m sorry but based on the questions, the solution just seem odd to me.

If you do multiples of 5, the closest you will get to 48 is 45....so the remainder is 3. Hope this clears up the confusion.
I’m sorry if I’m bothering you but the question did not state anything about the multiple of 5. Is it the question itself phrase it wrongly??
No worries, I posted another image below to explain the division by 5. Hope that is clearer to you.
