9. a. Maurice says that 1079 ÷ 62 is 16 with a remainder of 87. a. Without seeing his work, how can you tell Maurice divided incorrectly? * 9. b. Maurice is correct about this fact: 16 × 62 + 87 = 1079. Explain how you can use that fact to find the correct quotient and remainder for 1079 ÷ 62 without actually dividing. Then find the quotient. *

a.  We can tell that Maurice divided incorrectly because if the dividend is 62, you can't have a remainder of 87, because 62 goes into 87 once, so the answer would be 17 with a remainder of 25.  B. YOu can use that fact to find the correct quotient, because 87/62 is 1, with a remainder of 25, so 16+1=17, so the answer is 17 with a remainder of 25.   Please vote the brainliest.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
