Who could have shaded a rectangle that was 5 squares long. How many squares high would the shape be?

Answer 1

Part A:

Given that students shaded the number of squares on the grid listed below.

Hayley, 153 Wade 112, Sanjay, 184 and Eva 155

This is because out of all the listed numbers only 155 is divisible by 5.



Part B:

The number of squares high the shape would be is given by

$\frac{155}{5} =31\, squares$
