Students are baking muffins to sell to raise money. They bake muffins in trays of 24 muffins each. They want to divide the muffins on each tray into equal packets. Which packet size would result in muffins from each tray being left over?

A.3 muffins per packet
B.6 muffins per packet
C.8 muffins per packet
D.9 muffins per packet

Which statement describes both the ratio of the numbers of packs to the number of pencils and the number of packs to the number of erasers?

To solve this problem, we need to find a packet size that does not evenly divide the number of muffins on each tray. We can do this by trying each packet size option and checking if there are any muffins left over.

Let's start with option A, which suggests 3 muffins per packet. We divide the total number of muffins on each tray (24) by the packet size (3) using integer division (ignoring any remainder).

24 ÷ 3 = 8

Since 8 packets of 3 muffins each divide evenly into 24 muffins, there are no muffins left over. Option A does not result in muffins from each tray being left over.

Now, let's move on to option B, which suggests 6 muffins per packet.

24 ÷ 6 = 4

Again, 4 packets of 6 muffins each divide evenly into 24 muffins, leaving no muffins left over. Option B does not result in muffins from each tray being left over.

Next, let's try option C, which suggests 8 muffins per packet.

24 ÷ 8 = 3

This time, 3 packets of 8 muffins each divide evenly into 24 muffins, leaving no muffins left over. Option C does not give us the desired result.

Finally, we have option D, which suggests 9 muffins per packet.

24 ÷ 9 = 2 remainder 6

In this case, 2 packets of 9 muffins each divide into 18 muffins, leaving 6 muffins left over. Therefore, Option D does result in muffins from each tray being left over.

Therefore, the correct answer is D.

Which of those numbers is not a factor of 24?

8 c
