Question

Hannah was preparing to make 'goody bags' for tricker-treaters on Halloween. She had large bags of snack pack candies: one bag held 48 pieces of chocolate, a second held 64 pieces lollipops, and the third held 80 pieces of bubblegum . How many bags can she prepare if she does not want any candy left over. How many of each type will go into the bags?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 8 bags she can prepare if she does not want any candy left over.

There are 6 pieces of chocolates , 8 pieces of lollipops and 10 pieces of bubblegum into bags.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of chocolate in one bag = 48

Number of pieces of lollipops in second bag = 64

Number of pieces of bubblegum in third bag = 80

So, we need a large bag of snack pack candies.

So, for Number of bags she can prepare if she does not want any candy left over , we will do "H.C.F. of 48, 64, 80" which is equal to 8.

So, Number of bags she need to prepare = 8

Number of chocolates in bag would be
`(48)/(8)=6`

Number of lollipops in bag would be
`(64)/(8)=8`

Number of bubblegum in bag would be
`(80)/(8)=10`

Hence, there are 6 pieces of chocolates , 8 pieces of lollipops and 10 pieces of bubblegum in 8 bags.
