Question

From three chocolate bars we can make at most five chocolate rabbits and have some leftover. What is the greatest possible number of chocolate rabbits that can be made from sixteen chocolate bars (maybe with some leftover)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum number of chocolate rabbits that can be made from 16 chocolate bars = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

3 chocolate bars can make at most 5 chocolate rabbits.

Therefore, maximum number of chocolate rabbits that can be made from 3 chocolate bars = 5

$\text{So, maximum number of chocolate rabbits that}\\\text{can be made from 1 chocolate bar = }\frac{5}{3}$

Now, we are given 16 chocolate bars and need to find maximum number chocolate rabbits that can be made from the given number of chocolate bars.

$\text{So, maximum number of chocolate rabbits that}\\\text{can be made from 16 chocolate bars = }\frac{5}{3}\times 16\approx 26.67$

Hence, The maximum number of chocolate rabbits that can be made from 16 chocolate bars = 27
