Adam has 16 stickers, 20 marbles and 38 beads.
- 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 marbles and beads are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Factors of 38: 1, 2, 19, 38
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 16 ÷ 2
= 8
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 20 ÷ 2
= 10
(d)
Number of beads in each bag
= 38 ÷ 2
= 19
Number of marbles and beads in each bag
= 10 + 19
= 29
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 8; (c) 10; (d) 29
