Create an image showcasing a large collection of diverse stickers, varying in shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns. Make sure to display the counting process with a number approximation between 300 and 400. You can show this by dividing the stickers into piles of 4, 5, and 9 with one sticker left apart. The setting is a neatly organized room with a wooden desk where the counting process is taking place.

arnie has between 300 and 400 stickers in her collection. when she divided them into groups of 4, 5, or 9, there is always one sticker left over. how many stickers does arnie's collection contain?

To find the number of stickers in Arnie's collection, we can use the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

Step 1: Find a number that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 4, 5, and 9.
The least common multiple of 4, 5, and 9 is 180. Therefore, any number that is in the form of 180n + 1, where n is a positive integer, will satisfy the conditions.

Step 2: Find the smallest number of this form that is within the given range of 300 and 400.
Let's calculate:
For n = 1: 180*1 + 1 = 181
For n = 2: 180*2 + 1 = 361

So, the possible number of stickers in Arnie's collection is 361.

Answer: Arnie's collection contains 361 stickers.

To determine how many stickers Arnie's collection contains, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 4, 5, and 9, and then add one to the result.

First, let's find the LCM of 4, 5, and 9:

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, ...

Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, ...

Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, ...

From the lists of multiples, we can see that the LCM of 4, 5, and 9 is 180.

Now, we add 1 to the LCM: 180 + 1 = 181.

Therefore, Arnie's collection contains 181 stickers.

361 baaaaa

180 = LCM(4,5,9)

so, 360 is divisible by 4,5,9.
361 leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 4,5,9

Well, it sounds like Arnie's collection is a bit... colorful! So, let's do some math while keeping the fun in it.

To find out how many stickers Arnie has, we can approach this problem using the concept of the least common multiple (LCM) of 4, 5, and 9.

Starting with the lowest number, 4, let's find the least common multiple with 5. Well, we know that 5 is a prime number, so any multiple of 4 will always have a remainder when divided by 5. Let's move on to the next number.

Next, let's find the least common multiple of 5 and 9. Since 5 and 9 share no common factors, the LCM will simply be the product of the two numbers: 5 × 9 = 45.

Now, let's find the least common multiple of 4 and 45. This time, let's use a more efficient approach. Since 4 and 45 share a common factor of 1, we can multiply them together and simplify: 4 × 45 = 180.

So, the least common multiple of 4, 5, and 9 is 180. This means that Arnie has at least 180 stickers in her collection.

But hang on, Arnie's collection can have any number of stickers between 300 and 400. So, let's find the first multiple of 180 within this range.

Dividing 300 by 180 gives us a quotient of 1 with a remainder of 120.
Dividing 400 by 180 gives us a quotient of 2 with a remainder of 40.

Since we are looking for a multiple of 180 with a remainder of 1, and neither 120 nor 40 satisfy this condition, we need to increase our range.

Let's try dividing 500 by 180: a quotient of 2 with a remainder of 140. Not quite what we're looking for.

Finally, dividing 600 by 180 gives us a quotient of 3 with a remainder of... you guessed it... 0!

So, the first multiple of 180 within the range of 300 and 400 is 3 × 180 = 540.

Therefore, Arnie's collection contains 540 stickers. Now, I hope those stickers bring her some colorful joy!
