if you put me in to 7 equal groups whit 3 in 5 are left over , what number am i
To solve this question, let's break it down step by step.
1. The problem states that you are being divided into 7 equal groups.
2. Additionally, it mentions that when you are divided into these groups, there are 3 left over.
To find out the number you represent, we need to reverse engineer the problem.
First, let's find the total number of objects/items being divided:
Number in each group = Total number - Leftover
Number in each group = 7 - 3 = 4
Now, we know that each group has 4 items.
To find the total number, we multiply the number in each group by the number of groups:
Total number = Number in each group × Number of groups
Total number = 4 × 7 = 28
Therefore, you are the number 28.
