Answer 1

Answer:

(A)James is correct.There are fewer rows, so there will be more in each row. There will be  12 jelly beans in each row for 2 equal rows, and 8 jelly beans in each row for 3 equal rows.

Step-by-step explanation:

James is putting 24 jelly beans into equal rows.

If he puts the jelly beans in 2 equal rows:

Number in each row=24/2=12 jelly beans per row.

If he puts the jelly beans in 3 equal rows:

Number in each row=24/3=8 jelly beans per row.

Therefore, James is correct.There are fewer rows, so there will be more in each row. There will be  12 jelly beans in each row for 2 equal rows, and 8 jelly beans in each row for 3 equal rows.

The correct option is A.
