Answer:

3 family members get 126 text messages each

1 family member gets 127 text messages

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were finding the exact division of texts, 505 texts / 4 people, you would end up with 126.25 texts.

However, you can't get 0.25 of a text. If we take back each family member's 0.25 text, they will all be left with 126 texts (with an extra text leftover)

This extra text is considered the "remainder", meaning the amount left over when a number is divided [when it doesn't go into the larger number evenly]. The only importance/relevancy of a remainder is when a value cannot be split, such as a dog or a text.

So, we can give each family member 126 texts, and then we can give one family member an additional text, so that all texts are distributed.

This means that 3 family members get 126 texts, and 1 family member gets 127 texts

hope this helps!!
