372₁₀ = 2442₅
372 : 5 = 74 r 2
74 : 5 = 14 r 4
14 : 5 = 2 r 4
2 : 5 = 0 r 2 ↑
write down the remainders in the reverse order
372₁₀ = 2442₅
The factorization could represent the number of water bottles and weight of each water bottle is 12.
Given that,
The water bottles weighed a total of ounces.
We have to find,
The factorization could represent the number of waterbottles and weight of each water bottle.
According to the question,
The water bottles weighed a total of
Taking 12 as the highest common factor gives:
Where 12 is the number of bottles and is the weight of eachone.
Hence , The factorization could represent the number of water bottles and weight of each water bottle is 12.
