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?
The best representation would be as follows:
- Philip should sort the acorns in groups of 2.
- Each group would have 1 acorn with a top and 1 acorn without a top.
- He would have a total of 46 groups.
- Each group would have 1 acorn with a top and 1 acorn without a top, resulting in each group having the same number of acorns with and without tops.
