All bananas were handed out.
How many children are there ?
All bananas were handed out.
How many children are there ?
Answer
As for oranges, the number I can hand out with no lack is 64 (60 + 4 - 64).
Then the number of children is the common measures of 40, 64, and 48 which are 1, 2, 4, 8.
Since the number should be larger than 4, it is 8 persons.
8 persons
Solution
As for apples, the number I can hand out with no remainder is 40 ( 43 - 3 = 40). As for oranges, the number I can hand out with no lack is 64 (60 + 4 - 64).
Then the number of children is the common measures of 40, 64, and 48 which are 1, 2, 4, 8.
Since the number should be larger than 4, it is 8 persons.
