Please answer this question - my sibling is bothering me about this question, I have school work to do, please answer. Urgent.

People are putting together goodie bags to sell for a fundraiser. They have 30 chocolate cupcakes, 24 brownies, and 40 chocolate chip cookies. What would be the greatest number of bags they could make if each bag is to have the same number of each kind of treat?
Thank you

Answer:

2 bags

Explanation:

what you need to do is find the GCF or greatest common factor. which is a number they can all be divided by. 30 can be divided by 2 24 can be divided by 2 and 40 can be divided by 2. so in conclusion, in order to use every treat, and have an equal amount of treats in every bag, you can make 2 bags.
