Question

Lola is placing appetizers on plates. She has 63 spring rolls and 84 cheese sticks . She wants to include both appetizers on each plate. Each plate must have the same numbers of spring rolls and cheese sticks. What is the greatest number of plates she can make using all of the appetizers?

Answer 1

The GCF of 63 and 84 is 21

63/21 = 3
84/21 = 4

so Lola can make 21 plates, each containing 3 spring rolls and 4 cheese sticks
