- 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 marbles are there in each bag?
- How many marbles and beads are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Factors of 22: 1, 2, 11, 22
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of beads in each bag
= 20 ÷ 2
= 10
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 22 ÷ 2
= 11
(d)
Number of marbles and beads in each bag
= 10 + 11
= 21
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 10; (c) 11; (d) 21
