Adam has 16 beads, 22 stickers and 40 marbles.
- 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 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Factors of 22: 1, 2, 11, 22
Factors of 40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of beads in each bag
= 16 ÷ 2
= 8
(c)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 22 ÷ 2
= 11
(d)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 40 ÷ 2
= 20
Number of stickers and marbles in each bag
= 11 + 20
= 31
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 8; (c) 11; (d) 31
