Question

A soda company makes different flavors of soda. Last year, the company produced the same

number of bottles of each flavor. If the company produced 443,520 bottles of soda in all last
year, how many different flavors could the company make?

3,4,5,9

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Basically, we need to find the number that 443,520 is divisible by out of our four choices. Let's try to divide 443,530 by each of our choices.

443,530 / 3 = 147843.3333.....

443,530 / 4 = 110882.5

443,530 / 5 = 88706

Therefore, the answer is 5.

Another way to solve this question is to apply the divisibility rules of the four choices. Automatically, if you know that the divisibility rule of 5 is that the number must end in either 5 or 0, you will know that the answer is 5 because the number 443520 ends in 0.
