Question

Rachael has 8 sweets. She wishes to distribute them in a way that the number of sweets are given to each child is equal to the number of children. How will she do it?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let no. of sweet given to each child be x

and total number of children be y.

according to question,

x=y........(1)

xy=8......(2)

=>x.x=8

=>x^2=8

=>x=2√2

therefore number of sweets given to each child is 2√2 since the number of sweatds given to each child is equal to the number of children therefore number of children is2√2
