- If he uses more than 1 bag, what is the minimum number of bags that he can pack these items equally without any leftover?
- How many marbles are there in each bag?
- How many stickers are there in each bag?
- How many marbles and beads are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
Factors of 45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 5
Minimum number of bags = 5
(b)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 10 ÷ 5
= 2
(c)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 30 ÷ 5
= 6
(d)
Number of beads in each bag
= 45 ÷ 5
= 9
Number of marbles and beads in each bag
= 2 + 9
= 11
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 2; (c) 6; (d) 11
