To determine how many different flavors the soda company could make, we need to find the factors of the total number of bottles produced, which is 187,320. The company produced an equal number of bottles for each flavor, so the number of flavors must be a factor of 187,320.
The possible factors from the options given are:
– 2 (187,320 ÷ 2 = 93,660)
– 5 (187,320 ÷ 5 = 37,464)
– 6 (187,320 ÷ 6 = 31,220)
– 8 (187,320 ÷ 8 = 23,415)
All four options are indeed factors of 187,320, so the company could make any of these flavors.
In conclusion, the possible numbers of different flavors the company could make are 2, 5, 6, and 8.
