Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

No. objects in one set = 7

Let there be n set

Then, No. objects in n set = 7*n = 7n

Given that total  no of objects are 48

Thus,

7n = 48

n = 48/7 = (42+6)/7 = 42/7 + 6/7 = 6 + 6/7

n = 6 + 6/7

Thus, there will be 6 set which has 7 objects. fraction means one set is fraction 6/7 but set cannot be in fraction hence negating it.

Now, total objects in 6 sets = 6*7 = 42.

No. of objects left = 48 - 6 = 6
