Question

Cindy has 20 marbles and 25 jacks that she wants to group into packages. Each package will have the same number of marbles and each package will have the same number of jacks. What will be the greatest number of packages Cindy can make if she uses all of the marbles and jacks?

Answer 1

Answer:

So Cindy can use 5 bags and have 4 marbles in each bag and 5 jacks in each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by dividing the 20 marbles by 5 and the 25 jacks by 5 since 5 is the GCF. So Cindy can use 5 bags and have 4 marbles in each bag and 5 jacks in each bag. Now each package will have the same number of marbles and each package will have the same number of jacks.
