(a)
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Factors of 51: 1, 3, 17, 51
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 3
Minimum number of bags = 3
(b)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 24 ÷ 3
= 8
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 51 ÷ 3
= 17
(d)
Number of marbles and beads in each bag
= 8 + 17
= 25
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 8; (c) 17; (d) 25
