Question

Cathy. volunteered to collect cans for a project.. cathy collected 125 cans in 5 days .there were 6 volunteers including cathy, who each collected about the same number of cans. about how many cans did they collect?

Answer 1

Everyone got 4 cans a day but one person got 5 cans everyday. How? 125/5, cans collect/number of day equals 25 cans a day if you divide by 6 you get 4.1 and they can't collect a fraction of a can so then you do 6*4=24 but you need 25 a day so one of the people got an extra can.
