¿ Cuántas almendras y cuántos pistachos tiene que poner en cada bolsa?

Answer 1

• 10 bags,
• 6 almonds and 7 pistachios

Explanation:

Elisa has 60 almonds and 70 pistachios and she wants to distribute them in bags so that they all have the same content and that there are no excess almonds and pistachios.

How many bags can you fill?

How many almonds and how many pistachios does she have to put in each bag?

=====================

Prime factors of the given numbers:

• 60 = 2*2*3*5
• 70 = 2*5*7

LCM(60, 70) = 2*5 = 10

The greatest number of the bags is 10

Each bag will contain:

• 60/10 = 6 almonds and
• 70/10 = 7 pistachios
