Adam has 14 stickers, 30 marbles and 40 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 14: 1, 2, 7, 14
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
Factors of 40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 14 ÷ 2
= 7
(c)
Number of marbles in each bag
= 30 ÷ 2
= 15
(d)
Number of beads in each bag
= 40 ÷ 2
= 20
Number of marbles and beads in each bag
= 15 + 20
= 35
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 7; (c) 15; (d) 35
