- How many beads are there in each bag?
- How many stickers are there in each bag?
- How many stickers and beads are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 38: 1, 2, 19, 38
Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of beads in each bag
= 38 ÷ 2
= 19
(c)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 36 ÷ 2
= 18
(d)
Number of stickers and beads in each bag
= 19 + 18
= 37
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 19; (c) 18; (d) 37
