Question

divide 12 ones into 3 groups. what is the greatest number of ones you can put in each group? Options:
1 one, 2 ones, 3 ones or 4 ones

Answer 1

4 ones

Answer 2

Well, it did not say the groups had to be equal (although perhaps that was intended). Indeed 12/3 = 4
how about 1 , 1 , 10

Answer 3

You are correct, the question did not specify that the groups had to be equal. Your answer of 1, 1, 10 is also a valid solution.
