140 / 6 = 23 r2

Step-by-step explanation:

140 apples in small bags. That's 6 apples per bag. So divide 140 by 6. That's 23 bags with two apples left over.

for the model draw a rectangle. You're going to divide it into squares. It should be 6 squares tall and 24 squares long. There should be 140 squares shaded, with four left unshaded.
