Guess how much money is in the sugar bowl.
There are 7 nickels, but that’s not all.
There is less than a dollar.
I can separate it into 6 piles with the same amount in each pile.
I cannot make 7 piles with the same amount in each pile.
I could trade my money for dimes and have nothing left over.
If I had one more dime, I could then separate the money into 7 piles with the same amount in each pile.
How much money do I have in the sugar bowl?
