Question

there are 17 girls in 119 boys on a class field trip the students need to be broken up into the largest possible group so that each group contains the same number of students each group must be all girls or all boys how many students should be in each group

Answer 1

17 should be in each group.

Explanation:

17 girls

119 boys

119 divided by 17 equals 7

17 divided by 17 equals 1

Since it has to be all one gender, all 17 girls can be in one group. And you can divide 119 into groups of 17 without having any students left. :)
