Answer 2

i). If p = 7, then each person would get 5 cookies, with 1 cookie left over.

ii). If p = 10, then each person would get 3 cookies, with 6 cookies left over.

iii). If p = 11, then each person would get 3 cookies, with 3 cookies left over.

Explanation:

First option is wrong because 5 dividing 36 is 7, not 6. It would remain 1, not 4.

Second option is correct because 36 divided by 7 would give you 5 remaining 1.

Third option is correct because 8 dividing 36 is 4, but will remain 4, not 3.

Fourth option is correct because 36 divided by 10 is 3, then will remain 6.

Fifth option is correct because 36 divided by 11 is 3, remaining 3.
