Question

In your gym class, your teacher can create teams of 4 for a
relay race and have no students left over. The next day, your
teacher creates teams of 5 for dodge ball and has no
students left over. What are some possible numbers of
students in your class?

Answer 1

Answer: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100,....

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

It is possible to create teams of 4 for a relay race with no student leftover

Also,

It is possible to create teams of 5 for dodgeball with no student left over from the same class

To deduce the possible number of students in the class, then the number of students should be a multiple of both 4 and 5

Multiples of 4 include = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100,....

Multiples of 5 : 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100,....

Multiples common to both 4 and 5 : 20, 40, 60, 80, 100,....
