Miss Raeann has 93 lollipops and 63 caramel apples.
- What is the maximum number of bags she can pack these items equally into without any left over?
- How many lollipops and caramel apples are there in each bag altogether?
(a)
Factors of 93: 1, 3, 31, 93
Factors of 63: 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63
Maximum number of bags
= Highest common factor of 93 and 63
= 3
(b)
Number of lollipops in each bag
= 93 ÷ 3
= 31
Number of caramel apples in each bag
= 63 ÷ 3
= 21
Total number of lollipops and caramel apples in each bag
= 31 + 21
= 52
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 52
