6) when a teacher counted her students in groups of 4, there were 2 students left over. when she counted them in groups of 5, she had 1 student left over. if 15 of her students were girls, and she had more girls than boys, how many students did she have? ?

this needs to be shown full work for full credit on my college math class i need it’s due this !

The solution is that there are 26 students in her class

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 15 of her student are girls, and since there are more girls than boys in the class, there can at most be 15+14= 29 students in her class.

We need to find a number x between 16 (in the case where there is only one boy in the class) and 29, for which x/4 gives a remainder of 2, and x/5 gives a remainder of 1.

The numbers between 16 and 29, which when divided by 4 gives a remainder of 2 are:

18, 22, and 26

You can check yourself that these give a remainder of 2.

So it is one of these numbers. But the solution must also fulfill that the number divided by 5 gives a remainder of 1.

18/5 = 15 + remainder=3

22/5 = 4 + remainder=2

26/5 = 5 + remainder=1

Thus the only possible solution is 26.

hi there!

the answer to this question is d: 35

step-by-step explanation:

5 to the power of 2 is 25

2 multiplied by 5 is 10

then you add the 2 numbers and you get 35
