You have a bag with 30 fireballs and another bag with 42 jolly ranchers. For a party, you want to repackage the candy into smaller bags, and you want each bag to have the same number of fireballs and jolly ranchers and. How many bags will you be able to make?

Answer:

6 bags

Explanation:

The GCF of 30 and 42 is 6.

30/6 = 5

42/6 = 7

To use all candy, put 5 fireballs and 7 jolly ranchers in each bag. You will make 6 bags.
