Question

A caterer has prepared 36 turkey sandwiches and 30 ham sandwich. she wants to have the same number of each type of sandwich on a platter. what is the greatest number of each sandwich that she can put on a platter

Answer 1

you need to find the HCF of 36 and 30 first.
HCF of 36 and 30 are 6.

after that we can find the greatest number of each sandwich:
turkey sandwiches = 36:6 = 6
ham sandwiches = 30:6 = 5

so the greatest number of turkey sandwiches are 6 and ham sandwiches are 5

Answer 2

I believe it would be 30

30 is the max amount of ham sandwiches so to make the number be the same of turkey sandwiches you would put 30 of the turkey also.
