Respuesta :

She had 1 bear left over.
That means she was able to divide 51 bears evenly.
51 can be divided by only 2 numbers (other than 1 and 51), NAMELY, 3 and 17, both of which are prime.

She either made 17 groups of 3 or 3 groups of 17.
Either way, she'd use 51 bears and have 1 left over.

The total number of groups Mrs. Dryson made is 17 so that an equal amount of glass bear is in each group and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

  • Mrs. Dryson divided her collection of 52 glass bears into equal groups.
  • She had one bear left over.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of Mrs. Dryson make:

Step 1 - Arithmetic operations can be used in order to determine the total number of Mrs. Dryson make.

Step 2 - Remember according to the given data, there are 52 glass bears and she divided these bears into equal groups and after dividing she had one bear left.

Step 3 - So the total number of bears to divide into groups of equal quantity is given by:

= 52 - 1

= 51

Step 4 - Now, the number from which 51 is divided so that the answer comes is an integer is 3.

Step 5 - So, the total number of groups made by Mrs. Dryson is:

[tex]=\dfrac{51}{3}=17[/tex]
