Question

Olivia wants to make math party bags. She has 24 pencils and 4 erasers. If she makes the maximum number of possible bags, how many pencils will be in each one?

Answer 1

6 pencils

Explanation:

Number of pencil = 24 pencils

Number of erasers = 4 erasers

If she makes the maximum number of possible bags, the number of pencil that will be in each can be gotten by taken the GCF of both vales (24 and 4)

For 24:

24 = 4 * 6

For 4:

4 = 4 * 1

Since 4 is common to both factors, this means that the number of possible bags you can make is 4 and the number of pencil in each will be 6pencils
