Question

Ninety one students signed up for the skating club. Coach Link wants to form teams with the same number of members on each team, but says that is impossible: the only teams he can make are 91 teams of 1 or 1 team of 91. Is coach Link correct. Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Actually I believe that Coach Link is incorrect in saying that he can only make 91 teams of 1 or 1 team of 91.

To find the number of teams he can make, we have to find the whole number that can divide 91 and give also a whole number answer. In this case, I found it to be 7.

91 / 7 = 13

So this means that Coach Link can also make 7 teams of 13 or 13 teams of 7.
