Question

A band has 36 members. They are arranged into 6 equal rows. How many band members are in each row? Can the same 36 members be placed into exactly 7 equal rows? Why or why not?

Answer 1

6 people would be in each row // It isn't possible for there to be 7 equal rows

Explanation:

36 members/6 rows= 6 people per row // 36 members/7 rows= 5.14..... people per row (just doesn't work!)
