Question

A class bakes 36 cookies to sell. They want to package them in boxes of equal amounts. Which of the box sizes below is NOT a viable option?
Possible Box Sizes
• 4 cookies per box
• 6 cookies per box
• 9 cookies per box
• 10 cookies per box
(1 point)
(4 cookies/box
0 6 cookies/box
0 9 cookies/box
010 cookies/box

Answer 1

To determine which box size is NOT a viable option for packaging 36 cookies, we need to find out if 36 can be divided evenly by each of the box sizes listed.

- For **4 cookies per box**:
\( 36 \div 4 = 9 \) (This is viable.)

- For **6 cookies per box**:
\( 36 \div 6 = 6 \) (This is viable.)

- For **9 cookies per box**:
\( 36 \div 9 = 4 \) (This is viable.)

- For **10 cookies per box**:
\( 36 \div 10 = 3.6 \) (This is NOT viable since you cannot have a fraction of a box.)

Therefore, the box size that is NOT a viable option is **10 cookies per box**.
