Problem number six. Jorge pairs his socks so that the numbers match. How many pairs can he make? A, 3. B, 4. C, 5. D, 6. E, 8. To solve this problem, we need to make pairs  of socks that have the same number on them. For example, you see if we have two socks with number one on them or two socks with number seven on them, then we  can count the pairs. It looks like the socks have numbers up to eight on them. To make the counting easier, I'm going to go through each number and color in  that pair of socks a different color. Now I'll also keep a tally mark on the side. So first, we see that we do have socks with number one on them. Here's one of  them. And here's the other. So that makes a pair. Let me make the mark right here. Looking for socks with number two on them, we see that there also are two of  them. One over here and the other here. I'll add another tally mark. We have two socks with number three on them. Here and here. That's another mark for our  tally. There is no sock of the number four. Looking for number five, we find one here and here. So we'll add another mark to our tally chart. There's only one  sock of the number six, so we'll cross it out. We cannot make a pair with that.  And for number seven, we have two socks, a fifth mark for our tally chart. Now we are left with one sock of number eight, so that will not make a pair. So our  tally chart shows us that there were five pairs of socks that can be made. So Jorge can make five pairs, which is answer C.
