Show A Basket of Eggs. The Beaver Ctonian inspired by The Practical Educator, inquires-. " A clerk connted a basket of eggs. He took two out at a time and one remained; he took out three at a time and one remained; he took out four at a time and one remained; he took out five at a, time and one remained; he took out six at a time and one remained but when he took out seven at a time none remained. How many eggs were in the basket?" To hoid the necessary number it would require a basket capable of holding hold-ing 2,401 eggs. Great Seott, what kind of a basket does The Utonian have? Why not use a wagon box? |
