A farmer has 96 apples to sell at the farmers market. She wants to bag the apples before going. How many ways can the farmer bag the apples so that: each bag has at least 4 apples each bag has no more than 10 apples all bags have the same number of apples

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

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
