Miss Jean has 30 chocolate bars and 93 caramel apples.
- What is the maximum number of bags she can pack these items equally into without any left over?
- How many chocolate bars and caramel apples are there in each bag altogether?
(a)
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
Factors of 93: 1, 3, 31, 93
Maximum number of bags
= Highest common factor of 30 and 93
= 3
(b)
Number of chocolate bars in each bag
= 30 ÷ 3
= 10
Number of caramel apples in each bag
= 93 ÷ 3
= 31
Total number of chocolate bars and caramel apples in each bag
= 10 + 31
= 41
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 41
