There are 59 eggs in the basket
Step-by-step explanation:
There are between 50 & 60 eggs in a basket
- When Roza counts by 3's there are 2 leftover
- When she counts by 5's there are 4 leftover
We need to find how many eggs in the basket
∵ When Roza counts by 3's there are 2 leftover
∵ When she counts by 5's there are 4 leftover
- That means the number of eggs when divided by 3 give
remainder 2 and when divided by 5 give remainder 4
- To find the number look for the numbers that divisible by 5 and
add 4 to them and then check the remainder when they divided
by 3
∵ Between 50 and 60 there is only one number divisible by 5
is 55 (not including 50 or 60)
∵ 55 + 4 = 59
∴ 59 gives remainder 4 when divided by 5
Let us check them with 3
∵ 59 - 2 = 57
∵ 57 is divisible by 3 ⇒ (57 ÷ 3 = 19)
∴ 59 when divide by 3 gives remainder 2
∴ 59 gives remainder 4 when divided by 5 and remainder 2 when
divided by 3
∴ The number of eggs in the basket is 59
There are 59 eggs in the basket
