Whoops I mean seven groups of fours, one group of three

anonymous · Answer

yess 7 group with 1 group have 3

anonymous · Answer

total 8 group :)

anonymous · Answer

You can figure it out by taking 31 and diving by 4. Even though the answer is not an integer, it helps because you can round down.

31/4 = 7.75

round down to 7

7*4=28

So 7 groups of 4. How can we cover the remaining 3 students?

One group.

So there are 8 groups total.

i need a equation using more than less than equal to less than or equal to greater then. please

anonymous · Answer

3 < x =< 4

anonymous · Answer

That kind of "equation" is actually called an "inequality!"

So, the question says we want groups of 4 or less (when x = number of students):

x <= 4 (x is less than or equal to 4)

And groups have to be at least 1, so

1 <= x <= 4 (x is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 4)

x = the number of students in a group, rather
