Question

A store manager has 240 pins, 360 ornaments, and 540 mugs. She wants to fill gift bags so that the pins, ornaments, and mugs are evenly distributed. What is the highest number of gift bags that she can make?

240
60
1,140
15

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be 60

Explanation:

You would take 240, and divide it by 60 and you get 4, if you take 360 and divide it by 60, you get 6, and if you take the 540 and divide it by 60 as well, you get 9. Therefore, 60 is the highest number of gift bags that she can make.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

The great common divisor (GCD) of 240, 360, and 540 is 60.
