- If he uses more than 1 bag, what is the minimum number of bags that he can repack these items equally without any leftover?
- How many beads are there in each bag?
- How many marbles are there in each bag?
- How many marbles and beads are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Factors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of beads in each bag
= 32 ÷ 2
= 16
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 28 ÷ 2
= 14
(d)
Number of marbles and beads in each bag
= 16 + 14
= 30
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 16; (c) 14; (d) 30
