Question

Destiny just received two separate gifts from her great-great-grandmother.

The first gift is a box of 18 chocolate candy bars, and the second gift is a pack of 12 cookies.
Destiny wants to use all of the chocolate candy bars and cookies to make identical snack bags for her cousins.
What is the greatest number of snack bags that Destiny can make?

Answer 1

Destiny will be able to create 12 identical snack bags.

Explanation:

Given that a snack bag will be 1 chocolate candy bar, and 1 cookie, we have to subtract 1 chocolate for every cookie she has, and that will leave us with 6 chocolate bars left. The equation for this is 18 - 12 = 6.
