Audra has two rolls of streamers to use in decorating the school gym for a pep rally. The red streamers are 64 feet long and the blue streamers are 72 feet long. What is the maximum length each streamer can be so that they are all of equal length?

So, think 4 walls. The max number you can use is 64 for each roll of streamers.
Red: 64ft
Blue: 64ft
64+64=128
You then divide 128 by four walls.
128/4=32
Each streamer can be up to 32ft in length in order to be equal.
