What is the greatest number of bags you can fill using all the candy?
How many chocolate bars will be in each bag?
How many peanut butter cups will be in each bag?

Answer 1

The Greatest number of candy bags I can make is 3. There would be 6 chocolate bars and 10 Peanut Butter Cups.

My Work (copy if you would like, but do not paste this same exact image to a document.):

Answer 2

If you can't split up the peanut butter cups, the identical bags would each have 1 chocolate bar and 1 peanut butter cup because 30 cannot be divided between 18 bags as whole numbers more than once.

6

Is you're looking for the answer all you have to do is find the gcf (greatest common factor) of 18 and 30 and you would get 6

I hope this helps
