Question

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

Answer 1

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 2

Ms. Morris has to form 5-students groups.

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

`(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

`(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

`(25)/(5)=5`

Which means she can make groups of 5 students each, and she would have equal groups.
