- If he uses more than 1 bag, what is the minimum number of bags that he can repack these items equally without any leftover?
- 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 32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Factors of 38: 1, 2, 19, 38
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of beads in each bag
= 32 ÷ 2
= 16
(c)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 38 ÷ 2
= 19
(d)
Number of stickers and beads in each bag
= 16 + 19
= 35
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 16; (c) 19; (d) 35
