Ashley is bagging 32 pumpkin muffins and 28 banana muffins for

some friends. Each bag will hold only one type of muffin. Each bag
will hold the same number of muffins. What is the greatest number
of muffins she can put in each bag? How many bags of each type
of muffin will there be?

the greatest amount of muffins she can put in each bag is 4 because both 32 and 28 are divisible by 4

if she chooses to put 4 in each bag there will be 8 bags of pumpkin muffins and 7 bags of banana muffins

15 bags in total
