Problema Solution
A group of 6 students has a total 56 marbles . They need to split the amount up equally. If each student gets the same amount. How many does each student get?
Answer provided by our tutors
let x = the amount of marbles each students get and x is interger
6*x = 56
x = 56/6
x = 9 1/3
since the marbles can not be cut in pieces
the only this to do is to give 9 marbles to each student (6*9 + 2 = 56) and have a remaining of 2 marbles that will belong to no one.
