Question

a class of 40 studens is to be divided into smaller groups if each group is to contain 3,4,or 5 people what is the largest number of groups possible

Answer 1

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest number of groups will result from the fewest number of students per group. So you want as many groups of 3 as possible. 40 divided by 3 is 13 with a remainder of 1. So you could have 12 groups of 3 and 1 group of 4. That would be 13 groups total.
