- If he uses more than 1 bag, what is the minimum number of bags that he can pack 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 marbles are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Factors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
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
= 18 ÷ 2
= 9
(c)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 28 ÷ 2
= 14
(d)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 38 ÷ 2
= 19
Number of stickers and marbles in each bag
= 14 + 19
= 33
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 9; (c) 14; (d) 33
