Dogs are all related to each other,
but they come in
all different shapes, sizes...and colors. Dogs can be white,
brown, black, grey, spotted, or mixtures of these. But one favorite dog breed
is golden: the Golden Retriever. These super-fluffy, super-friendly dogs are so
named because they like to fetch animals while out hunting with their owners.
In fact, they'll fetch anything you throw, from a ball to a stick to a
newspaper. Given their popularity, it's no surprise that goldens get their own party to celebrate their existence.
Once a year the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland holds a giant "Golden
Gathering" at Guisachan, which is where the breed was officially born. This
year, 222 dogs showed up and romped around chasing flying objects and each
other. We just hope someone had a lot of treats handy, and a good
pooper-scooper.
Here’s the problem:
If the dogs are divided into groups
of either 3 or 5 to play Frisbee, and you need one Frisbee per group, what's
the smallest number of Frisbees you'll need to have on hand?

The smallest number of Frisbees needed are 46. The bigger the groups, the fewer Frisbees you'll have, but 222 isn't evenly divisible by 5. The closest multiple of 5 that leaves a multiple of 3 left over is 210, which gives you 42 groups. That leaves 12 more dogs, who can be divided into 4 groups of 3.

A.M ~ The smallest number of Frisbees you`ll need is 3 Frisbees for 3 groups of puppys.
A.G- I would have to have at least 74 frisbees on my hands because if you divide 222 by 3 then you would be able to get 74 frisbees.

The smallest amount of Frisbee needed is 74, and you have to put 3 dogs in each group.

Technically, it really does vary on what you divide it by.
If there are 222 golden retrievers and they are divided into groups by 3, there would be 124 groups and if they each group needed at least 1 Frisbee, then they would need 124, but I’m thinking there is a chance it might be 41, remainder 1…?
If divided by 5..:
If you divided 222 by 5, then you would get 44 remainder 2, and if you needed at least 1 Frisbee per group, then in total you would have 44, but im also doubting this one a bit because I’m thinking it might be 14 remainder 2..?
S.R The smallest number of freebees you`ll need is 74 freebees and 3 dogs in each group.

I think it should be 5 groups because there would be 2 Frisbee left over so maybe you could make another group. And if you do the math 5 will be correct because 5x40= 200 and 5x4=20 and add 40 and 4 it equals 44 which if you multiple you would get 44. I divided it and I got everything the same as the problem. So I think it should be 5 groups.

The smallest amount of Frisbee's you will need is 74 because if you have 3 dogs in one group you get Frisbee'
They will need 3 Frisbee.
