Hi I do not need the help but can I have it so here it is “There are 12 girls and 18 boys in a class. What is the largest number of groups they can be split into and have the same number of boys and girls on each team?”

Answer:

Add 12+18= 30

Well the largest group could be in 6's.

They all can be split up to 6 groups, so each group will have 5 kids in it.

12 groups in a 1:1 ratio of boys:girls. there are only 12 girls so one in each group + 1 boy per group gives you 12 groups. with a remainder of 6 boys
