- 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 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of beads in each bag
= 28 ÷ 2
= 14
(c)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 30 ÷ 2
= 15
(d)
Number of stickers and beads in each bag
= 14 + 15
= 29
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 14; (c) 15; (d) 29
