Answer 1

Answer: D

Step-to-step explanation:

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

The orange shirts will have 32/6 = 5 with 2 left over

The blue shirts will have 29/6 = 4 with 5 left over

The green shirts will have 34/6 = 5 with 4 left over

The left overs are 2 + 5 + 4 = 11 but I have divided the colors equally. If color does not matter then the total number of shirts = 32 + 29 + 34

The total number of shirts is 95

95/6 = 15 with a remainder of 5

So 5 shirts will be left over.
