Answer:

If division of the packages in fractional numbers was possible, it should be 2.667 packages per pile.

The answer lies between 2 and 3 packages per pile.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved as a simple division.

To split 8 packages in 3, this should correspond to 8/3≈2.667.

If division of the packages in fractional numbers was possible, it should be 2.667 packages per pile.

Other way to think about it is like mentally allocating a package in each pile. We can go up to 2 packages per pile (a total of 6 packages), and we can only add a package to 2 piles, letting the last pile to have only two packages.

Then, we have 2 piles with 3 packages and one pile with 2 packages.

35 points!! How much does a fish weigh if its tail weighs 4 kilograms, it's head weighs as much as it's tail and half its body,
NeX [460]

Let t, h, b represent the weighs of tail, head, and body, respectively.

t = 4 . . . . given

h = t + b/2 . . . . the head weighs as much as the tail and half the body

b/2 = h + t . . . . half the body weighs as much as the head and tail

_____

Substituting for b/2 in the second equation using the expression in the third equation, we have

... h = t + (h + t)

Subtracting h from both sides gives

... 0 = 2t . . . . . . in contradiction to the initial statement about tail weight.

Conclusion: there's no solution to the problem given here.
