Question

natalie has a bake sale. she has 48 chocolate chip cookies to put in bags. how many bags can she fill if she puts the same number in each bagand uses them all? find atleast 3 possibilities

Answer 1

1. 8 bags - each bag would contain 6 cookies
2. 16 bags - each bag would contain 3 cookies
3. 24 bags - each bag would contain 2 cookies

Answer 2

We need to find what numbers can multiply into 48
1 and 48, 2, and 24, 3 and 16, 4 and 12, and 6 and 8.
So she can fill 1 bag with 48 each, 48 bags with 1 each, 2 bags with 24 each, 24 bags with 2 each, 3 with 16, 16 with 3, 4 with 12, 12 with 4, 4 with 8, or 8 with 6.
You just need to pick 3 of the possibilities I gave you.
I'd pick 12 with 4 in each, 8 with 6 in each, and 6 with 8 in each
