Question

Anthony has 63 toy cars and 84 toy trucks. He wants to divide them into groups that contain the same number of vehicles. Also, each group must contain the same type of vehicle (car or truck}. What is the largest number of toys that can be put into each group

Answer 1

3 groups of 21 cars and 4 groups of 21 trucks

Explanation:

In this case, what we must do is find the largest common divisor since this would be the answer to the question. So:

LCD (63, 84), in this case it is 21.

63/21 = 3

84/21 = 4

He could have 3 groups of 21 cars and 4 groups of 21 trucks.
