Question 1190151: Erin is making prize bags for Weird Contest Week. She has 55 prizes. She is going to put an equal number in each of 12 bags. She wants to put as many prizes in each bag as she possibly can. After she has filled 6 bags, what fraction of the prizes does she have left?

55/12 = 4.58 approximately
That rounds down to 4
Each bag gets 4 prizes
12 bags means 12*4 = 48 prizes are distributed.
55-48 = 7 prizes are left over.
1 bag = 4 prizes
6 bags = 24 prizes
55-24 = 31 prizes are left over after filling 6 bags
Answer: 31/55
