To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.

1. Total Apples: Eli has 17 apples.
2. Apples per Pie: Each pie requires 7 apples.

Step 1: Calculate How Many Pies Eli Can Make

To find out how many pies Eli can bake, we divide the total apples by the apples needed per pie: $17 \div 7 = 2 \text{ pies with a remainder of } 3$

So, Eli can bake 2 pies.

Step 2: Calculate the Remaining Apples

Since 2 pies use up $2 \times 7 = 14$ apples, the remaining apples are: $17 - 14 = 3$

Final Answer

• Eli bakes: 2 pies
• Apples left: 3 apples

1. What if Eli had 20 apples? How many pies and leftover apples?
2. If each pie required only 5 apples, how many pies could he make with 17 apples?
3. How many apples would Eli need to make exactly 3 pies?
4. If Eli decided to make mini-pies with only 4 apples each, how many could he make with 17 apples?
5. How many apples would be left if Eli gave 10 away before baking?

Tip: Dividing with remainders can help you understand how much is left after making groups, useful in problems involving resource distribution.
