- 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 beads and marbles are there in each bag?
(a)
Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10
Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Factors of 35: 1, 5, 7, 35
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 5
Minimum number of bags = 5
(b)
Number of beads in each bag
= 10 ÷ 5
= 2
(c)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 20 ÷ 5
= 4
(d)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 35 ÷ 5
= 7
Number of beads and marbles in each bag
= 2 + 7
= 9
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 2; (c) 4; (d) 9
