(a)
Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
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 stickers in each bag
= 20 ÷ 2
= 10
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 30 ÷ 2
= 15
(d)
Number of marbles and beads in each bag
= 10 + 15
= 25
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 10; (c) 15; (d) 25
