Need help with 5th grade math homework.

Problem:
Which equation shows the result of 42 divided by 15?

a. 42 = 2x15 +12
b 42 = 20x2+4
c. 42 = 10x4+2
d. 42 = 5x3+27


Can anyone help how to solve and work these types of problems??:roll:

It appears to be looking for a division with a remainder.

45 / 15 = 2 Remainder 12

In other words, 45 = 2*15 + 12

Note: In a problem that mentions ONLY "15", you probably should pick the answer that actually has a "15" in it.
