Explanation:

Step1: Find factors of 35

We need to find two positive integers whose product is 35. The factor pairs of 35 are (1, 35), (5, 7), (7, 5), (35, 1).

Step2: Choose one pair

Let's choose the pair (5, 7). So we can have 5 stacks with 7 quarters each, or 7 stacks with 5 quarters each, or 1 stack with 35 quarters, or 35 stacks with 1 quarter. Let's pick 5 stacks and 7 quarters.

Answer:

Ellie can make 5 stacks of quarters with 7 quarters in each stack. (Or other valid factor pairs like 7 stacks with 5 quarters, 1 stack with 35 quarters, 35 stacks with 1 quarter)
