Question

Caroline has 120 stickers, 96 erasers, and 72 candies. She wants to

make as many goodie bags as she can using all of her supplies. Each
goodie bag should be exactly the same. How many goodie bags will
Caroline make? How many stickers, erasers and candies will be in
each?

Answer 1

Look at the bolded sentences

Explanation:

We can first set up a ratio of stickers to erasers to candies

120:96:72

Now we can simplify it

15:12:9

5:4:3

This means that each goodie bag will contain 5 stickers, 4 erasers, and 3 candies.

Now we need to find how many bags she can make

120/5=24

96/4=24

72/3=24

She will make 24 bags
