- 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 marbles are there in each bag?
- How many marbles and stickers are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Factors of 22: 1, 2, 11, 22
Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of beads in each bag
= 12 ÷ 2
= 6
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 22 ÷ 2
= 11
(d)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 36 ÷ 2
= 18
Number of marbles and stickers in each bag
= 11 + 18
= 29
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 6; (c) 11; (d) 29
