- 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 stickers are there in each bag?
- How many marbles are there in each bag?
- How many stickers and beads are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
Factors of 33: 1, 3, 11, 33
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 3
Minimum number of bags = 3
(b)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 18 ÷ 3
= 6
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 30 ÷ 3
= 10
(d)
Number of beads in each bag
= 33 ÷ 3
= 11
Number of stickers and beads in each bag
= 6 + 11
= 17
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 6; (c) 10; (d) 17
