Question

The sixth grade teachers bought food for a reward party. They purchased 64 bags of chips and 80 bottles of water . What is the largest number of students that can be invited to the party so they each get the same amount of chips and water?

Answer 1

64

Explanation:

Since each student must get the same amount of chips and water, the ratio of the number of chips to water received by each student is 1:1.

Hence, a maximum of 64 students can be invited to the party, as the bags of chips is lower than that of the number of bottles of water, and we take it as a 64.
