If 4 friends share 3 bags of peanuts equally What is the answer?
The answer depends on what the question is.
If you have 8 bags of gold and one weighs less than the others what is the quickest way to find the lightest bag using a pan balance scale?
Assuming the heavier bags are all of identical weight, this can be done in three weighings, eliminating half of the bags each time. Thus the first weighing compares the bags in two sets of four, and reduces the field to four possible bags. The second weighing compares these in two sets of two, to identify two possible bags. The third and final weighing compares these two remaining bags, determining which is in fact underweight. It can be done in 2 weighings The first weighing compares 3 and 3. If the 3 and 3 are equal, you weigh the two originally left out and will get your answer. If the 3 and 3 are not equal you take the set of 3 that are lighter and weigh 1 and 1, leaving one out. If this weighing is unequal you'll know which bag is lighter. If the weighing is equal then the one you left out is the lightest.
You need to buy fertilizer for a flower bed with a diameter of 13 feet If one bag will fertilizer 10 square feet how may bags do you need to buy?

How many bags of fertilizer are needed to fertilize a yard measuring 60 feet by 80 feet if one bag will cover 100 square feet?
The yard is 60ft * 80ft = 4800ft2. One bag covers 100ft2. 4800ft2/100ft2/bag = 48 bags
