Kate made 40 cupcakes. Each cupcake tray holds 6 cupcakes. How many cupcakes will be in the partially filled tray?

1 answer

The number of cupcakes in the partially filled tray can be calculated by taking the modulus of the total number of cupcakes with 6 since each tray holds 6 cupcakes:

40 cupcakes รท 6 cupcakes per tray = 6 trays with 6 cupcakes each
40 cupcakes mod 6 = 4 cupcakes in the partially filled tray

Therefore, there will be 4 cupcakes in the partially filled tray.
