Answer:
2 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
9 5/12 - 6 7/12
We will need to borrow from the 9
8 12/12 + 5/12 - 6 7/12
8 17/12 - 6 7/12
(8-6) + (17/12 -7/12)
2 10/12
This simplifies. Divide the top and bottom of the fraction by 2
2 5/6
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.
