Question

Ms. Pike is bagging snacks for a class trip. She has 72 pretzels rods and 48 pieces of string cheese. What is the largest number of snack bags she can make so that the bags are all the same and there is nothing left over?

Answer 1

The GCF is 24. There are 3 pretzel rods and 2 string cheese

Answer 2

You would find the greatest common factor of the two, which is 24. In that case, there's 3 pretzels and 2 string cheese in each bag.
