(a)
Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
Factors of 45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 5
Minimum number of bags = 5
(b)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 20 ÷ 5
= 4
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 30 ÷ 5
= 6
(d)
Number of beads in each bag
= 45 ÷ 5
= 9
Number of stickers and beads in each bag
= 4 + 9
= 13
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 4; (c) 6; (d) 13
