•On
a tramping trip everyone got into twos. One person was left over. Then everyone
got into threes. One person was left over again. When they got into groups of
four, fives and sixes there was still always one person left over. How many
went on the tramping trip?
it is 18r1 Connor
ReplyDeleteWe think the answer is 27, we got this by there was 1 lot of 1, and it said four not fours so it had to be 1 group of 4, it said fives and sixes instead of five and six so it had to be more than 1 group so we thought it was 2 groups of 5 and 6 so if you add all of them together it will =27. This is how we got our answer.
ReplyDeleteIt is one because you can't put one into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on.

ReplyDeleteI think the number is sixty one because sixty is the only number that I can think of that can get into twos, threes, fours, fives, and sixes evenly. If I add one then one person will always be left behind. It is easy if you know you division, multiplication and addition well. But it is hard to start with because you are thinking “Oh my gosh, what a hard problem” and not trying to logically figure out the answer. It is fun!
