Mohammed and Raju bought 50 chocolates to distribute among their 5 friends Can you help them to distribute equally? How many chocolates will they each one get?
Answers
Answer:
The correct option is A This happens because 5 is a prime number.
The number 5 is a prime number, it has only two factors that is 1 and the number itself, 5. For a quantity having a prime number count(expect the prime number 2) we cannot distribute it between two people, or we can say that it can be distributed equally only in the case that 1 person gets all the things, or the each person gets one thing and the number of persons will be the count of the prime number. All prime numbers are odd expect 2, as the number 2 is the only even prime number. All odd numbers are not prime numbers. Let us take an example and understand this:
The number 21 is an odd number, but it is not a prime number. The factors of the number are:
21 = 1 × 21, 3 × 7 as we can see that we have 4 factors here, 1,3,7,21(the distribution can be done in 4 ways). So if I have 21 chocolates I can give 7 children 3 chocolates each or 3 children 7 chocolates each, in either case the distribution is equal. But this is not the case with the number 5 as it has only two factors 1, 5 so the distribution is done in 2 ways only. Therefore, 5 is a prime number and 21 is a composite number.
Answer:
everyone will get 10 chocolates each
Step-by-step explanation:
number of chocolates - 50
number of people (to be distributed)- 5
therefore,number of chocolates each gets - (50÷5) = 10
ans:10 chocolates each
