how many different ways can you arrange a total of 4 counters in equal groups?

Question

this is 3rd grade math ?

Answer 1

Im assuming that by using the word 'groups', (plural) you are not allowed all four in one group as a solution.
So, if the counters are the same, then 2 ways:
1, 1, 1, 1
and
2, 2

If the counters are different, then 4 ways. (If the counters are:
a, b, c, d then:
ab,cd
ac,bd
ad, bc
a, b, c, d. )

If this is for a 3rd grader then the former is probably what they are looking for, but I can't really know that. The latter seems a little complicated for the average 3rd grader.

Answer 2

There are four ways.You can have four groups with one in each group or there are three ways to have two groups of two.
1, 2, 3, 4
1 2, 3 4
1 3, 2 4
1 4, 2 3

Answer 3

Assuming your 'counter' is indivisible, and depending on your definitions, 3:
4
2 2
1 1 1 1

Answer 4

3 ways

equal groups of one: X X X X

EQUAL GROUPS OF TWO: XX XX

One group of 4: XXXX


You would do well to figure this out for yourself, rather than asking others to do your work. My husband had others do his work in HS and it cost him a rewarding career, because he knew he couldn't go to college and pass.
