I'll Give A Medal! Someone Pleasee Help >:( Teresa is organizing her closet. She wants to place all of her 12 pairs of shoes on shelves. If she wants to have the same number of pairs on each shelf, how many choices for the number of shelves does she have? 6 4 10 eleven

all you have to do is determinate how many factors (other than 12 and 1) that your # has... then you got your answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 shelves 3 pairs on each :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats not quite the question tho... the question is how many different potions for shelves...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

options*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b/c you can also have 6 shelves w/ 2 on each and vice versa for both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and now that im thinking about it... i think 12 and 1 might also be included... so your answer should be 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The correct answer is 6. There are 6 possibilities 1 shoe (i.e. 1/2 pair) on each shelf 2 shoes on each shelf 3 shoes (i.e. 1 1/2 pair) on each shelf 4 shoes on each shelf 6 shoes on each shelf 12 shoes on each shelf Hope this helps.
