·        If you need 48 french fries how many different combinations of potato sizes can you come up with?

 

Extending:

·        If you need 220 french fries how many different combinations of potato sizes can you come up with?

 

·        If you need 288 french fries how many different combinations of potato sizes can you come up with?

 

If you have already made 24 french fries what combinations of potatoes could you use so you get a total of 288?
