Answer:

The greatest number that she can have is 5 groups

Step-by-step explanation:

This question plays on words, but refers to a concept that is quite familiar, and that is the Highest Common Factor of the two groups. The answer to this question is the highest number that can divide both group numbers without remainder.

15 boys: 3 × 5

10 girls: 2 × 5

So, she would have 5 groups, each having 3 boys and 2 girls

First set up a linear equation  and using the x and y values in the table see if it solves.

It doesn't solve so we know it isn't linear. ( I won't show all those steps because they aren't needed.)

Using the quadratic formula y = ax^2 +bx +c

Build a set of 3 equations from the table:

C is the Y intercept ( when X is 0), this is shown in the table as 6

Now we have y = ax^2 + bx + 6

-2.4 =4a-2b +6

1.4 = a-b +6

Rewrite the equations

a=b/2 -2.1

1.4 = b/2-2.1 +6

b = 5

a = 5/2 -2.1 = 0.4

replace the letters to get y = 0.4x^2 + 5x +6
