Answer and explanation:
Farmer's number of apples = 96 apples
Given that Farmer needs to bag the apples so that there are at least 4 apples in each bag(not less than 4 apples in each bag) and not more than 10 apples in each bag
And also all apples in each bag are equal
We need to find the numbers between 4 and 10(including 4 and 10) that can divide 96 without a remainder
4 can divide 96= 24
5 cannot divide 96 without remainder
6 can divide 96 =16
7 cannot divide 96 without remainder
8 can divide 96=12
9 cannot divide 96 without remainder
10 cannot divide 96 without remainder
From the above we see that the factors of 96 = 4, 6, 8 between 4 and 10
4 apples = 24 bags
6 apples = 16 bags
8 apples = 12 bags
Therefore, there can be 3 possible ways of having equal number of apples in each bag between 4 and 10 apples
