Question

There are 159 students to be grouped in math teams. Each team is to have the same number of students. Can each team have 3, 4, 5 or 6 students?

Answer 1

3 students for each team

Explanation:

Answer 2

Each team can have 3 students.

Explanation:

159 students grouped in three's = 159/3=53

The same thing goes for if they were grouped in 4's, 5's, or 6's.

159/4=39.75 159/5=31.8 159/6=26.5

And since you cant divide single students into splits objects, 3 is

the only solution that works.

Hope this helps. :)
