Answer:

5 classes - 2 bass classes and 3 viola classes.

Explanation:

Find the greatest common factor (GCF)

List the factors of 20 and 30:

20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

The greatest factor that both numbers share is 10.

Therefore, there are 10 students in each class. So, she teaches 2 bass classes and 3 violas classes.

hope this helps! <3
