First, let's start with the equation to represent Mia's situation. She initially has 776 pieces and uses 68 pieces to start a puzzle, leaving her with \( 776 - 68 = 708 \) pieces. If she puts these pieces equally into 6 containers, the equation would be \( 708 ÷ 6 = p\) with \( r \) being the leftover pieces. Now, let's solve it! When you divide 708 by 6, you get \( 708 ÷ 6 = 118\) with a remainder. To find the exact number of leftover pieces, multiply back: \( 118 × 6 = 708\). Since \( 708\) is exactly divisible by \( 6\), there are no leftover pieces, or in this case, zero leftover pieces. Each container will have \( 118 \) pieces amply distributed. So to recap: a. The equation is \( 708 ÷ 6 = p \) (no leftover pieces). b. Each container gets \( 118 \) pieces, with \( 0\) pieces left over!
