Question

12 girls and 32 boys volunteer to plants trees at a school. The principal divides the girls and boys into identical groups that have girls and boys in each group. What is the greatest number of groups the principal can make?

Answer 1

Explanation:

okay so the explanation to your question so if there is 12 girls and 32 boys we can take the 12 girls and but them aside the me take 32 -12 to make the groups equal then we get 20 so now that we have 12 girls and 12 boys we can start to give one to each group.

girls:12+1=13

13+1=14

14+1=15

boys:12+1=13

13+1=14

14+1=15

so now we have 14 more kids to divide up here we can do some easy stuff and do 14 divided by 2 = 7 so each kid gets 10 kids.

so there is a group of 25 kid in each group.

hope this helps..
