Five students volunteered to carry boxes.There are 62 boxes.Is it possible for each student to carry the same number of boxes and have all the boxes carried?Eplain.

Respuesta :

If you divide 62 boxes by 5 students, you will get 12.4. You cannot divide one box by 5 for each student. In this case, your answer is no. The students would not get an even amount of boxes each.
No, it' s not possible. Because 62 boxes / 5 which eqauls 12 r 2. So either someone will have to go back and get the leftover boxes to their destination, or someone can just carry more boxes.
       
          *But I wouldn't advise the second option due to how heavy the boxes are, unless they're empty.
