Philip can represent how he should sort the acorns by dividing the total number of acorns, 92, by the common number, let's call it x.
Since each group should have an equal number of acorns with tops and without tops, Philip needs to find a number x that satisfies the following conditions:
1) The number of acorns with tops, 66, should be divisible by x without a remainder.
2) The number of acorns without tops, 26, should also be divisible by x without a remainder.
Thus, the correct representation would be to find all numbers that satisfy both conditions. Therefore, the answer options can be:
A) All factors of 92 that are greater than 1.
B) All common factors of 66 and 26.
C) All common multiples of 66 and 26.
D) All prime numbers greater than 1.
The correct answer is option B) All common factors of 66 and 26.
Philip is sorting acorns he collected. He has 92 acorns: 66 still have their tops, 26 do not. Philip wants to sort the acorns into groups with the same number of acorns, including some with and without tops. He wants each group to have an equal number of acorns with tops and an equal number of acorns without tops. Which answer best shows how Philip can represent how he should sort the acorns?
