how do you divide 16 apples equally between 17 children
Yes give them each 16/17 of an apple.
You sure can. Give each child one apple and cut the last into 16 pieces - one for each child.If you don't want to cut the apple then no, you cannot equally divide 17 apples among 16 children.
Each person receives 1.6 apples.
Since 16 and 17 are relatively prime, i.e. they share no divisors other than 1, the only ways to divide 16 apples equally amongst 17 children is to either cut each apple into 17 pieces and give 16 pieces to each child, or cut a 17th of an apple out of each apple, give the cut apples to 16 of the children and give the 16 pieces to the 17th child.Another way to do it is to make apple sauce. From my wife. Gee, wish I had thought of that. :-)>
It is 3/5 bags of apples each.
You make applesauce.
Cut each apple into fifths (creating 90 1/5 segments). Then, give each kid 9 segments.
If not a trick question, then 3.
13 apples divided by 14 children will give them 0.9285714 of an apple each.
Apples will not develop without blooms.
