Maize counted her dime.when she put them in groups of 4 ,she had two dimes left over.when she put them in group of 5,she had one left over.what is the smallest number of dimes she could have.if she has more than 10?
Answered by Dr. Jane
You have to work with piles = x

4x + 2 = 5x +1

x = 3 if you substitute you have 14 dimes

3 piles of 4 = 12 plus 2 = 14
3 piles of

Sorry.. I didn't mean to post that.

the answer gives us x =1 not 3

and we get to 6 dimes, but your problem is talking about more than 10 dimes.

The one pile works because you have

4(1)+ 2 = 5(1) + 1

6 =6 .

Now, we have to find a multiple that will work...

Do you need more help from here?
