Lova and her family are dividing 82 books into 4 boxes to donate to homeless shelters. They would like to put the same number of books in each box. Is this possible? Explain.

Respuesta :

Answer: no, it would not be possiable. Because if you divide 82 by 4, then you would get 20.5, and you cant split a book to put in other boxes.

Answer:

No, it is not possible, unless they keep 2 books out.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many books to put in each box you can divide 82 into 4 groups:

82 ÷ 4 = 20.5

You cannot have half of a book, so no, it is not possible to put the same number of books in each box, unless they keep 2 books out.

The only way this would work is if they had 80 books instead of 82 books.
