Question

Twenty four students will be divided into four equal size teams. Each student will count off, beginning with the number 1 as the 1st team. If Nate is the eleventh student to count off to which team number will he be assigned?

Answer 1

Nate will be in group 3

Explanation:

If there are four groups and 24 students, that means there will be 6 students per group since 24 ÷ 4 = 6. You then begin you count off: 1,2,3,4... until you get to eleven. The first 4 students are the first member in each of the 4 groups. This process repeats until the 8th student. Since 4 can't go in again to reach 11. Therefore, 9th student will then belong to group 1, the 10th student to group 2, and then Nate (11th student) will belong to group 3.
