Suppose you have 192 marbles in groups of 15 marbles each. Find the number of groups of marbles that you have. Write the quotient with the remainder written as a fraction. Explain what the fractional part of your answer means.

so if you have 192 marbles and you want to group them in groups of 15 marbles each you would see how many times 15's there are in 192 or how many 192's would go into 15
so 192/15 or 12 and 12/15

The correct answer is:
12 12/15, or 12 4/5.
Explanation :
15 goes into 192 12 times. 15(12) = 180. This leaves us a remainder of 192-180 = 12. This gives us 12 12/15.
Both 12 and 15 can be divided by 3; (12÷3)/(15÷3) = 4/5.
This gives us 12 4/5.

The number of groups of marbles is 12 full groups, and there are 4/5 of another group left over. The division of 192 by 15 results in a whole number of groups, plus a fraction that indicates remaining marbles. This means you have formed 12 complete groups of 15 marbles each, with some extra marbles remaining.
