Question

Kim scores 40 points by bursting the balloons on the outer circle. If one balloon fetches 8 points, then find the number of balloons that were burst.

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 8
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5

Total points = 40
Point for 1 balloon = 8
You know that,
$1\times 40=40$
$2\times 20=40$
$4\times 10=40$
$5\times 8=40$
The factors of 40 are- 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40.


Thus, 5 balloons were burst.
