Kris lined cans in two rows on a shelf and had one left over; she tried again using three rows, and then four rows. Each time she had one can left over. Finally, she tried five rows, and had none left over! What possible numbers of cans could she have been working with?
This is you when you find out the answer
I guessed and checked. I found a number that can be diviable by 2, 4, 6, and 8 but I leaved on leaved over. Then final answer was tje one that could be distributed into 5 without and leftover but Also into the other numbers with only one left over
ReplyDeleteShe could have been using 25 cans. 12 cans, can fit on two rows on a shelf and have 1 left over. 8 cans, can fit on three rows on a shelf and have 1 left over. 6 cans, can fit on 4 rows on a shelf and have 1 left over. But 5 cans, can fit on five rows on a shelf and have none left over.
ReplyDeleteI agree with alexus because she could have been using 25 can totals. 12 can can fit on two rows but 1 left over. 8 can can fit on four rows but 1 left over and 5 can fit on five rows and have none left over.

ReplyDeleteI agree with alexus because the lady could of have been using 25 cans. 12 cans for two rows with 1 left over . 8 cans for three rows with 1left over . 6 cans for 4 rows with one left over. 5 cans can fit with five rows.
ReplyDeleteI agree with alexus because 12,8,6, and 5 all fit into 25. 12 cans fit into 2 rows with 1 left, 8 cans fit into three rows with 1 left, 6 cans fit into four rows with 1 left, 5 cans fit into five rows with none left.

ReplyDeleteI agree with India because the lady could of have been using 25 cans. 12 cans for two rows with 1 left over . 8 cans for three rows with 1left over . 6 cans for 4 rows with one left over. 5 cans can fit with five rows
ReplyDeleteI think the lady was using 25 cans. There would be 12 cans per row for 2 rows with 1 can left over. There would be 8 cans per row for 3 rows and 1 can left over. There would be 6 cans per row for 4 rows with one can left over.Then she uses 5 rows and puts 5 cans in each row and it equals 25 cans.
ReplyDeleteI agree with michael 5 per row equal 25 cans
DeleteI agree with Alexus also because the lady have been using 25 cans. The 12 cans for two rows with 1 left over , 8 cans for three rows with 1left over ,6 cans for 4 rows with one left over, and 5 cans can fit with five rows.
ReplyDeleteThe lady could've been using 25 cans. 12 cans for 2 rows with one can left over, 8 cans for 3 rows with one left over, 6 cans for 4 rows with one left over and 5 cans can fit with 5 rows.
ReplyDeleteI agree with alexus because the lady could of had 25 cans .she use 12 cans per row and then have one left over. 8 cans for three rows. then 6 cans for 4 rows. five cans that fit for the fifth row.
ReplyDeleteKris was using 25 cans. I got 25 because if you see how much 2 goes into 25, it'll be 12 on each row, with one left over. Then you do 3 and there would be 8 with one left over. And 4 would be 6 with one left over. But if you use 5, since 25 is a multiple of 5, it would be 5 cans on each row.
ReplyDeleteThe numbers she could be working with are greater than or equal to 30. I got this because anything less than 30 will fit into 4 with leftovers but only 30 or more will fit in 5 perfectly.
