Answer:
the answer can be 13 or 33
Step-by-step explanation:
write the multiples of 4+1 (according to the question) and 5+3 ( according to the question) less than 50 and compare them.
You will see that 13 and 33 are common in both.
So I personally think that the answer is 33 because they told us under 50 if the answer would be 13 then they would have taken a smaller number to be less than
For example in place of 50, 20 or 30 can be there
So, I hope it helped you

Step-by-step explanation:
Sean has a collection of less than 50 books. He counts his books in fours and has one left over. He counts his books in fives and has three left cover. How many books could Sean have?
- Given
- Sean has collection of books that is less than 50.
- So he counts in fours and one is left over
- Similarly he counts in fives and has three left over.
- So we have multiples of 4 and one is left over less than 50
- 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48
- So plus one for one left over will be
- 5,9,13,17,21.25,29,33,37,41,45,49--------1
- So we have multiples of 5 less than 50
- 5,10,15, 20,25, 30, 35, 40, 45
- So plus 3 for 3 left over will be
- 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33, 38, 43, 48----------2
- So from 1 and 2 we get 2 numbers 13 and 33
- Since Sean has a collection less than 50 books, it will be 33 books
