Answer:
15 days
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 5 cups of food, and you give him 1/3 a day.
So, <em>5 divided by 1/3</em>, which would get you 15 days. Or you could cross-multiply, meaning you multiply across, but in this case I just made them line up so you can see how to do it.
Answer: attached below
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Judy’s brother Sam has a collection of 96 comic books. We have been asked to find the 10 ways Sam could divide his comic books into equal groups.
This can be done as follows:
96 can be written as . Thus, we can either have 2 groups of 48 comics or 48 groups of 2 comics. As we can see we have 2 ways to divide the comic books in equal groups.
Likewise, 96 can also be written as . Here, we can similarly see that we can either have 3 groups of 32 comics or 32 groups of 3 comics. As we can again see we have 2 more ways to divide the comic books in equal groups, taking the total number of ways to 4.
Continuing in this manner we will see that we can have 4 groups of 24 or 24 groups of 4, 6 groups of 16 or 16 groups of 6 and lastly 12 groups of 8 or 8 groups of 12 comic books, thus taking the count to a <u>total of 10 ways</u> in which Sam can divide his comic books into equal groups.
Our question has been answered.
