Which explains whether or not it is possible? It is possible to split the pistachios into 40 packages because each package will contain 107 pistachios. It is possible to split the pistachios into 40 packages because each package will contain 108 pistachios. It is not possible to split the pistachios into 40 packages.

Answer 2

C. It is not possible to split the pistachios into 40 packages. It would be possible if there were a total of 4,280 pistachios

Explanation:

Given

`Pistachios = 4315`

`Packages = 40`

Required

Determine if it's possible to divide into 40 packages

First, we need to divide the Pistachios by the number of packages.

`Batches = 4315/40`

`Batches = 107.875`

Because, we have a decimal; then it's impossible

However,

it'd be possible if

`Pistachios = 4280`

because:

`4280/40 = 107`
