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?

Respuesta :

Answer:  It is not possible for each student to carry the same number of boxes and have all the boxes carried.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of boxes = 62

Total number of students = 5

And we are asked to check that each student must carry the same number of boxes and have all the boxes carried.

For this 62 must be completely divisible by 5 without any remainder,

But we know that ,

[tex]\frac{62}{5}=12.4[/tex]

12 bags each student can carry but 2 bags gets remain.

So, it is not possible for each student to carry the same number of boxes and have all the boxes carried.
