What is the expected output when running the program with 100 people and 8 people per group?

Question

Question 5 options:

13 groups with 2 left over

12.5 groups with 4 left over

12 groups with no one left over

12 groups with 4 left over

Answer 1

To determine the expected output when dividing 100 people into groups of 8, we can perform the following calculations:

1. Calculate the number of complete groups: Divide the total number of people by the group size: \[ \text{Number of groups} = \frac{100}{8} = 12.5 \] This means there are 12 complete groups and part of a 13th group that isn't complete.

2. Calculate the number of people left over: To find out how many people are left after forming complete groups, we can use the modulus operator: \[ \text{Left over} = 100 \mod 8 = 4 \] This indicates there are 4 people who do not fit into the complete groups.

Given the options provided in your question, the correct output based on our calculations is:

12 groups with 4 left over
