What is the answer? The glee club has 120 cupcakes to sell. they have decided to arrange the cupcakes in the shape of a rectangl
e, such that the rows have an even number of cupcakes and the columns have an odd number of cupcakes. How many arrangements of cupcakes can they create? Explain.
<span>Determine the configuration of columns and rows for the rectangular arrangement of 120 cupcakes.
=> There must be an even number of rows and an odd number of columns.
=> 120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 15
=> 120 = 8 x 15
=> 120 = 120
Consequently, the glee club should organize the cupcakes in 8 rows and 15 columns.
This totals up to 120 cupcakes altogether.
