- How many marbles and stickers are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
Factors of 38: 1, 2, 19, 38
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 40 ÷ 2
= 20
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 38 ÷ 2
= 19
(d)
Number of marbles and beads in each bag
= 20 + 19
= 39
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 20; (c) 19; (d) 39
