Question

The Easton High School marching band has 52 members and the Weston High School marching band has 65 members. They are going to march in a parade. How can they be arranged so that each row has the same number of players? The players from each school have to be separate.

Answer 1

The Easton High School marching band can have 4 rows of 13. For the other high school you can have 5 rows of 13.

Answer 2

Answer: There are 4 rows of Easton High School and 5 rows of Weston High School.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of members in the Easton High School = 52

Number of members in the Weston High School = 65

We need to find the number that has the same number of players.

So, we will find "H.C.F. " to get the maximum number of members.

So, H.C.F. of 52 and 65 = 13

So, Number of rows = 13

Number of rows of Easton High School =
`(52)/(13)=4`

Number of rows of Weston High School =
`(65)/(13)=5`

Hence, there are 4 rows of Easton High School and 5 rows of Weston High School.
