Raaela is a physical education teacher and has 25 girls and 35 boys in her class.

She wants to divide the class into teams of the same size, where each team has the same number of girls and the same number of boys.
If Rafaela creates the greatest number of teams possible, how many boys will be on each team?

I’m not for sure that this is the answer but I tried. I’m pretty sure that it would be 10 boys on each team.

Explanation:

Since there are less boys than girls the teams must be even so if you put 10 boys and 10 girls on each team which there would only be 2 teams. 20 boys would be playing and 15 would be sitting out. 20 girls would be playing 5 would be out. Hope this sorta helped even though I’m not 100% sure this is correct
