(a)
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Factors of 40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 24 ÷ 2
= 12
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 40 ÷ 2
= 20
(d)
Number of marbles and beads in each bag
= 12 + 20
= 32
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 12; (c) 20; (d) 32
