Call for help
My office mate's sixth grader brought home the following math homework: Marbles come in 10 colors. There are always seven marbles in a bag, always of seven different colors. I logically arrived at 91 marbles clinching it, so 13 bags. 1. Is that correct? 2. In any event, I have no idea how to produce a general equation governing this situation. What is it? Any assistance is appreciated. I apologize in advance if I have overlooked something glaringly obvious.
