Question

Carlos is packing bags for treats at a party. Every bag has exactly the same amount of treats in it. Carlos has 25 granola bars and 35 small popcorn balls. What is the greatest number of treat bags Carlos can make?

Answer 1

5 bags

Explanation:

Given

`Granola\ Bars = 25`

`Popcorn\ Balls = 35`

Required

Determine the greatest number of bags

This question illustrates greatest common factor (GCF).

The number of bags will be solved by getting the GCF of 25 and 35.

This is shown below:

`25 = 1 * 5 * 5`

`35 = 1 * 5 * 7`

`GCF = 1 * 5`

`GCF = 5`

Hence, Carlos will need 5 bags
