there are 25 students in Ms.Morris's class. She wants to divide the class into 3,4 or 5 equal teams. Which number of teams can she have? explain
Hello. Lets try all the options given.
25/3= 8.3 Thats not right because you can not have half a student.
25/4= 6.25 That not right either.
25/5= 5. YES thats right!
So, Ms.Morris can have 5 teams, with 5 people in each. Hope that helps! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If Ms. Morris wants to divide all 25 students in 3, 4 or 5 equal teams, she to apply a division to know the number of students per group.
If she makes 3-students groups, it would be
\(\frac{25}{3}\approx 8.33\)
Ms. Morris can't make 3-students groups, because she cant divide one student in parts to have equal groups.
If she considers 4-students groups, it would be
\(\frac{25}{4} = 6.25\)
The same reason here, she cannot divide a students in parts to have equal groups.
Therefore, she has to make 5-students groups, because
\(\frac{25}{5}=5\)
Which means she can make groups of 5 students each, and she would have equal groups.
