you have to round up to account for the fact that it does not divide evenly

104

Answer 34

BLAH BLAH BLAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Answer 35

there you go, that's the answer

Answer 36

its 97 john listen to meee :D

Answer 37

cuttiepie tell me, how many boxes can you make from 97 origami sheets?

Answer 38

12 :D

Answer 39

you can make 12 with 96 sheets. With 97 you make 12 boxes and have one extra useless sheet left over. And with 12 boxes, with 3 students per group, you only made boxes for 36 students.

Answer 40

theres one box per group

Answer 41

Yes, and you only made 12 boxes, that's 36 students

Answer 42

And you used 97 sheets for no reason when 96 would have made 12 boxes

Answer 43

what about the other does it just get a box to itself? NO

Answer 44

yes. why not?

Answer 45

it says at most 3 students per group. you can't have 4 students in a group. you can have 1 student in a group.

Answer 46

Or you could have 11 groups of 3, and 2 groups of 2.

Answer 47

The smallest number of groups you can have is 13, which means 13 boxes, which means 104 sheets.
