Answer 1

120 or 180 apples

Explanation:

It hasd to be divisible by 5 so it can only end in fives and zeroes next it has to be divisible by 2 so that narrows it tdown to only number that end in zero the it has to be divisible by 3 once yo find that you have two answers

120 or 180 and that is how many apples can be in the box

Answer 2

There can be 180 apples in that box.

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to answer the question correctly:

Number of apples in a box < 200

2. It is known that 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 kids can share these apples evenly. How many apples can be in that box?

The answer is that the number of apples that can be in the box is the highest multiple of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 that is close to 200.

The common multiples for this set of numbers are 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 and so on with 60 as the constant.

Therefore, the highest number that is multiple for this set of numbers and at the same time lower than 200 is 180.

There can be 180 apples in that box.
