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
To sort the acorns in groups with the same number of acorns, including some with and without tops, Philip can represent it as follows:
92 acorns = 66 with tops + 26 without tops
To have an equal number of acorns with tops and without tops in each group, Philip can represent it as:
66 = (33 with tops + 33 without tops) × 2
Therefore, Philip should sort the acorns into groups of 33 acorns each, with 33 having tops and 33 without tops.
