QuestionWhich problem cannot be solved?
1. 30 candies into 6 piles: 30÷630 \div 6
2. 6 candies into 4 piles: 6÷46 \div 4
3. 0 candies into 6 piles: 0÷60 \div 6
4. 6 candies into 0 piles: 6÷06 \div 0

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The number of candies Pablo has is a whole number (non-negative integer). . The number of piles Pablo wants to make is a whole number (non-negative integer).
3. Each pile should have an equal number of candies.
4. A pile can have zero candies.

STEP 2

We can find the number of candies in each pile by dividing the total number of candies by the number of piles.
Candiesperpile=Totalcandies/NumberofpilesCandies\, per\, pile = Total\, candies / Number\, of\, piles

STEP 3

For the first scenario, plug in the given values for the total number of candies and the number of piles to calculate the candies per pile.
Candiesperpile=30/6Candies\, per\, pile =30 /6

STEP 4

Calculate the candies per pile for the first scenario.
Candiesperpile=30/6=Candies\, per\, pile =30 /6 =

STEP 5

For the second scenario, plug in the given values for the total number of candies and the number of piles to calculate the candies per pile.
Candiesperpile=/4Candies\, per\, pile = /4

STEP 6

Calculate the candies per pile for the second scenario.
Candiesperpile=6/4=1.5Candies\, per\, pile =6 /4 =1.5

STEP 7

For the third scenario, plug in the given values for the total number of candies and the number of piles to calculate the candies per pile.
Candiesperpile=0/6Candies\, per\, pile =0 /6

STEP 8

Calculate the candies per pile for the third scenario.
Candiesperpile=0/6=0Candies\, per\, pile =0 /6 =0

STEP 9

For the fourth scenario, plug in the given values for the total number of candies and the number of piles to calculate the candies per pile.
Candiesperpile=6/Candies\, per\, pile =6 /

STEP 10

In mathematics, division by zero is undefined. Therefore, the fourth scenario does not have a solution.
The problem that would NOT have a solution is "ablo has6 pieces of candy and wants to divide them into0 equal piles. You want to know how many pieces will be in each pile."
