Question

8. Nathan has 3 jars, each containing either 5 or 10 marbles.

Which of the following could NOT be the total number of
marbles in all the jars? 30, 20, 35, 25

Answer 1

35

Explanation:

Because,

when we take the maximum values of marbles in a jar ,

that is each jar contains 10 marbles

then the total number of marbles in 3 jars is 30

so , the value 35 is not possible.

Thank you

Answer 2

35 can’t be the total of marbles
