Answer:
5.7 beads
Step-by-step explanation:
Marissa wants to sort 80 beads into 2 cases. The red case has 6 compartments, and the blue case has 8 compartments.
We are told in the Question that:
the compartments in each case hold the same number of beads and none are left over
Hence, let the number of beads in each compartments = x
Therefore:
8x + 6x = 80 beads
14x= 80 beads
x = 80 beads/14
x = 5.7142857143 beads
x ≈ 5.7 beads
Hence, she can sort the beads into 5.7 beads per compartments
