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

Answer 1

To represent how Philip should sort the acorns, there are a few potential options:

Option 1:
If Philip wants each group to have an equal number of acorns with tops and an equal number of acorns without tops, he can represent it as:
- Number of groups: G
- Number of acorns with tops in each group: T
- Number of acorns without tops in each group: W
So, the equation would be: 66T = 26W.

Option 2:
Another representation could be in terms of the total number of acorns with tops and without tops:
- Number of acorns with tops: A
- Number of acorns without tops: B
So, the equation would be: A + B = 92.

These representations provide different ways to approach the sorting of the acorns, but the best answer would depend on the specific goal or constraints of the acorn sorting.
