Broken Eggs By Randall.KA farmer went to the market and broke all of her eggs! She needed to figure out how many eggs she had. She put her eggs in different groups. She put them in groups of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. When she tried to put the eggs in groups 2 through 6 she had one egg left over, but when she put the eggs into groups of seven she didn’t have any left over. How many eggs did she have? Are there more than one possibility?When we attempted to find the amount of eggs she had, we took numbers that were multiples of seven and tried to see if these numbers could fit in to the other groups with one left over. We thought that it was a good way of figuring out the possibilities. My group also tried numbers …show more content…
We also tried larger numbers as we thought that larger numbers would work and they looked like they worked but they did not fit some of the requirements. We also tried numbers that fit almost all of the requirements to see if they fit all of the requirements or if the numbers did not fit they could help us find different numbers that could fit the requirements. When other people found the answers and wrote answers like 301 on the white board and when my group checked them they looked to be correct. We tried other numbers that ended with one like 721 and they worked. How we checked them was dividing them all by 2 through 7. 301/2=150r1, 301/3=100r1, 301/4=75r1, 301/5=60r1, 301/6=50r1, 301/7=43. When we divided them they all had a remainder of one except for seven. This means that the farmer will not now how many eggs she had, because there were many different possibilities.I learned that when there is a problem like this, I need to find what multiples of seven there are and divide those numbers by all the other main numbers and find if they work.PS/2/2PRO/3/3SOL/3/3SA/3/3LA/1/1PSAll infoSome infononePRO3 pieces of evidenceMissing 1 piece of evidenceTwo pieces of evidence missingnoneSOLAnswer, proof, generalizeMissing
