Question

A baseball camp is held at a complex that has 6 baseball diamonds. The coaches would like each diamond to have the same number of campers. Use divisibility rules to determine whether this is possible if 152 kids show up for the camp.

Answer 1

Using divisibility rules, it is impossible to have exactly the same number of kids in each of the diamonds

Explanation:

Here, we want to use divisibility rule to check for the possibility of 152 kids showing for the kids

Since we need exactly equal number of kids in each of the diamonds, we are going to test the possibilities that we can share 152 to have the same number of campers in each of the diamond

Mathematically 152/6 = 25.3333

Since we have a remainder for the division, it is impossible to share the campers equally in the six diamonds if 152 kids show up for the camp
