Question

Santa and Noel each brought $114$ gift packets for the Grade 7 students. Grade 7 has four sections. They have decided to distribute the gift packets equally in all sections. Is it possible?

• A. Yes, it is possible.
• B. No, it is not possible.
• C. It cannot be determined.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Yes, it is possible.

Santa and Noel brought $114$ gift packets each.
$\therefore$ Total number of gift packets $=114+114=228$

$228$ gift packets need to be distributed equally among four sections.

The last two digits of $228$ are $28,$ which is divisible by $4.$

$\therefore$ It is possible to distribute all the gift packets equally among four sections.
