What's your answer?
My gal put (3)
60/4 = 15
75 can be divided by 15 with no remainder.[/quote]
Question is roughly : There are 60 apples and 75 pears. She wants to group them together with no remainder. There are same no. of total fruits in each group. How many apples are there in each group?
1) 5
2) 4
3) 12
4) 15
60/12 = 5 groups
75/15 = 5 groups
12+15 = 27 total fruits (12 apples + 15 pears in a group). So total there are 5 groups.
My DS's tuition teacher said the ans is 3.[/quote]
Apparently there are 2 correct answers - 4 and 12 apples
15 groups x (4 apples + 5 pears) ---> 4 apples --- Option (2)
5 groups x 12 apples + 15 pears) ---> 12 apples --- Option (3)
If the question stated \"to have as many bags / groups as possible\", then the answer is 4 apples, but Option (2) and not (4)![/quote]
My kid said the option 4 answer is 4. Hope he didn't see wrongly.
He also said it stated to have as many bag as possible.
