Colored rods are used in the elementary school classroom to teach many concepts. The rods vary in length from 1 cm to 10 cm . Various lengths have different colors; for example, the 5 rod is yellow. The rods and their colors are shown in Figure 8 ( a ) . A now with all the same color rods is called one-color train.

a. What rods can be used to form a one-color train for 18 ?

b. What one-color trains are possible for 24 ?

c. How many one-color trains of two or more rods are possible for each prime number greater than 7 ?
