I'm not sure how to solve this problem. I know that i need to divide 36 cookies. But not sure how to figure out the number of groups. Am i using multiples of 4?

Marie made 3 dozen cookies. She needs to dived them evenly into groups greater than 4. What are all the possible equal size groups into which she can divide?

Think about the factors of 36

3 * 12
4 * 9
6 * 6

Thank you! So, possible sizes are 6, 9, and 12. I really didn't need to use multiples of 4 at all.

this is dealing with exponents. its says find the number that equals 81 when its squared . I know that squared means and exponent of 2.i also have more questions

can someone help me?????

To figure out the number of groups in which Marie can divide the 36 cookies evenly, we need to find all the possible equal size groups. Since we are looking for groups greater than 4, we can start by trying to divide the total number of cookies (36) by successive numbers greater than 4.

Let's begin by dividing 36 by 5:
36 ÷ 5 = 7 with a remainder of 1

Since there is a remainder of 1, we know that dividing 36 into groups of 5 does not result in an equal distribution.

Next, let's divide 36 by 6:
36 ÷ 6 = 6 with no remainder

When dividing 36 by 6, we get a quotient of 6 with no remainder, meaning that it is possible to divide the cookies into groups of 6 evenly.

Continuing, let's divide 36 by 7:
36 ÷ 7 = 5 with a remainder of 1

Again, there is a remainder of 1, indicating that dividing 36 into groups of 7 does not result in an equal distribution.

Next, let's divide 36 by 8:
36 ÷ 8 = 4 with a remainder of 4

Once again, we have a remainder of 4, meaning that dividing 36 into groups of 8 does not give an equal distribution of cookies.

Finally, let's divide 36 by 9:
36 ÷ 9 = 4 with no remainder

When dividing 36 by 9, we obtain a quotient of 4 with no remainder. This suggests that it is possible to divide the cookies into groups of 9 evenly.

So, the possible equal size groups into which Marie can divide the 36 cookies are groups of 6 and groups of 9.
