    Challenging Problems

    Worked Example 1
    Thirty blue buttons and forty-five yellow buttons need to be placed in
    bags so that each bag has the same number of buttons. What is the
    greatest possible number of bags needed?

    Buttons Possible numbers of bags needed


    30 blue 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15
    45 yellow 1, 3, 5, 9, 15

    The greatest possible number of bags needed is 15.

    Worked Example 2
    Mrs. Oliver has a number of tarts. If she gives 3 or 4 tarts to each
    child, there will be 1 tart left over each time. If she gives 5 tarts to
    each child, she will have no tarts left over. What is the smallest
    number of tarts that Mrs. Oliver could have?

    The number of tarts must be a multiple of 5 that leaves a


    remainder of 1 when divided by 3 or 4.

    Multiple of 5 5 10 15 20 25
    Remainder when divided by 3 2 1 0 2 1
    Remainder when divided by 4 1 2 3 0 1

    The smallest number of tarts that Mrs. Oliver could have is 25.

    7. Mr. Thomas has some erasers. When he gives 4 erasers or
    5 erasers to each student, he has 2 erasers left. There are no
    erasers left when he gives 6 erasers to each student. What is the
    least number of erasers Mr. Thomas could have?

    8. Some of Mr. Edward’s students want to buy him a gift. If each of


    them pays $2, they will be short of $4 for the gift. If each of them
    pays $3, there will be an extra $3. How much does the gift cost?

    9. Students were selected from a school’s fourth grade classes


    to take part in a science contest and a spelling contest. From
    one class, 9 students were selected for the science contest and
    3 for the spelling contest. For each of the remaining classes,
    4 students were selected for the science contest and 6 for the
    spelling contest. The number of students who were selected
    to take part in both contests is the same. What is the smallest
    possible number of fourth grade classes?

    Challenging Problems

    Worked Example 1
    Phil had 3 times as much money as Anne. After Phil gave $285 to
    Anne, he had twice as much money as she did. How much money
    did Phil have at first?

    Method 1
    Before After $285 $285
    Phil Phil

    Anne Anne
    1 unit $285
    1 unit 3 × $285 = $855
    3 units 3 × $855 = $2,565
    Phil had $2,565 at first.
    Method 2
    Before After
    1 unit

    Phil 285
    Phil

    From the model,


    1 unit 3 × 285 = 855
    3 units 3 × 855 = 2,565
    Phil had $2,565 at first.
