Question

Max bought two deli sandwich rolls measuring 18 inches and 30 inches. He want them to be cut in equal sections that are as long as possible. Into what lengths should the rolls be cut?

Answer 1

Answer: Into 6 inches

Explanation:

In this situation, the problem will be to find the greatest common factor of 18 and 30 because that is how you could divide them.

The GCF of 18 is 1,2,3,6,9, and 18

The GCF of 30 is 1,2,3,5,6,10,15 and 30

The greatest possible factor of both numbers is 6
