Question

Rachel has 12 boston creme donuts and 6 glazed donuts to put in boxes. She wants each box to contain the same number of Boston creme donuts and the same number of glazed donuts. What is the maximum number of boxes she can make? How many of each type of donut will each box contain?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 boxes

2 boston creme donuts and 1 glazed donut per box

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 6 glazed donuts, so the maximum number of boxes is 6 by putting one glazed donut in each box since 6/6 = 1. Then she can put 2 boston cream donuts in each box since 12/6 = 2.
