Philip is sorting acorns he collected. He has 92 acorns: 66 still have their tops, 26 do not. Philip wants to sort the acorns into groups with the same number of acorns, including some with and without tops. He wants each group to have an equal number of acorns with tops and an equal number of acorns without tops. Which answer best shows how Philip can represent how he should sort the acorns?(1 point) Responses 1(66+26) 1 left parenthesis 66 plus 26 right parenthesis 6(11+4) 6 left parenthesis 11 plus 4 right parenthesis 2(33+13) 2 left parenthesis 33 plus 13 right parenthesis 24(3+1)
The answer that best represents how Philip should sort the acorns is 2(33+13).
The answer that best represents how Philip should sort the acorns is: 2(33+13) 2 (33 plus 13)
To determine how Philip can sort the acorns into groups with the same number of acorns, we need to find the common factors of both the number of acorns with tops (66) and the number of acorns without tops (26).
The common factors of 66 and 26 are: 1, 2
Based on the answer choices provided, we can see that 2(33+13) represents the common factors of 66 and 26 (i.e., 2), multiplied by the sum of the two groups (33+13).
Therefore, the answer is 2(33+13).
