Question

1

Leslie earned $12 Friday, $20 Saturday, and $56 Sunday selling bracelets. If she sold each bracelet for the same amount of money what is the most she could charge for each bracelet?

Answer 1

$4 because they are all divisible by that number

Answer 2

$4

Explanation:

For this, you want to find the greatest common factor

This basically means what number can be divided out of all of these.

So, you can find the factors for all of them and find which one appears in all three numbers and which is the greatest number

for 12:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

For 20:

1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

For 56:

1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56

The numbers that appear in all of there are:

1, 2, and 4

And since we want to find the greatest amount she can charge for bracelet, the answer is:

$4
