Question

There are 36 6th graders and 40 7th graders. What is the greatest number of teams that the students conform if each team has the same number of 6th graders and the same number of seventh graders and every student must be on a team

Answer 1

Answer: There will be 4 teams such that each team has same number of graders of both.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of 6th graders = 36

Number of 7th graders = 40

We need to find the greatest number of teams that the students conform if each team has the same number of 6th grader and the same number of 7th graders.

So, we will find H.C.F. for the greatest number of teams.

H.C.F. of 36 and 40 =4

Hence, there will be 4 teams such that each team has same number of graders of both.
