There are 16 people at a party. They want to set up relay teams with exactly 3 people each. Can they do it? Explain.
16 divided by 3 = 5 with 1 left over.
No, because 3x_ can NEVER equal to 16 so 16 divided by 3 has no answer. There will be one left out.
To determine whether it is possible to set up relay teams with exactly 3 people each, we need to check if the total number of people is divisible by 3. In this case, there are 16 people.
To check divisibility by 3, we can add up the individual digits of the number (16) and see if the sum is divisible by 3. If the sum is divisible by 3, then the original number is also divisible by 3.
Adding up the digits of 16: 1+6 = 7.
Since the sum of the digits (7) is not divisible by 3, it means that 16 is not divisible by 3.
Therefore, it is not possible to set up relay teams with exactly 3 people each using the 16 people at the party.
Not if everyone is included.(:
Why? Try it yourself.
Explain it there are 16 people at a party .they want to set up really teams with exactly 3 people each .will each Pearson be on a team ? Explain
