Question

1) Two types of cubic stones blocks, one is of edge length 2 meters

and the other is of edge length 3 meters. It is wanted to make a
column from each type such that the two columns are of the same
height using the least number of stones. What is the height of each
column?

Answer 1

The height of each column would be 1 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the columns of the same height using the least number of stones, we need to find the greatest common divisor of the edge lengths of the two types of stones. In this case, the edge lengths are 2 meters and 3 meters. The greatest common divisor of 2 and 3 is 1. Therefore, the height of each column would be 1 meter.
