There are 17 beans in circle A and none in circle B You can move 5 beans at a time from circle A to circle B and exactly 3 from B to Awhat is least number of moves to transfer all to B?

Answer 1

Well, isn't that just a happy little problem we have here? To transfer all the beans from circle A to circle B, you can move 5 beans at a time from A to B, but you must also move exactly 3 beans from B back to A. So, in each move, you are effectively transferring 2 beans from A to B. With 17 beans in circle A, you would need to make 8 moves to transfer all the beans to circle B, spreading joy and beans along the way.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, you start with 17 beans in circle A, move 5 at a time to circle B, then move 3 back to A. You repeat this process until all beans are in circle B. It's like a bean dance party where you shuffle them back and forth until they all end up in the cool circle B. You'll need a total of 44 moves to transfer all the beans to circle B.

Answer 3

If t here are 17 beans in circle A and none in circle B You can move 5 beans at a time from circle A to circle B and exactly 3 from B to A, the least number of moves to transfer all to B would be 5.
