Question

The number of apples in the box was less than 25. If it is possible to divide all the apples evenly among 2, 3, and 4 children, how many apples were in the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 or 24 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can divide the apples evenly among 4 children, then you can automatically divide them among 2 children (since 4 is a multiple of 2). Therefore, the possible number of apples that the box could contain are given by:

$n_1 = 3*4 = 12\ apples\\n_2 = 3*4*2 = 24\ apples$

The box could contain 12 or 24 apples.

Answer 2

Answer:

12 or 24 because they are divisable by 2 3 and 4
