Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we need to find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) which is the highest number that can go into every number in the equation (In this case, those numbers are 24 and 30)

The GCF for this would be 6, meaning that there would be 6 bags with and equal amount of granola bars and protein bars.
To be more specific, every bag would have 4 granola bars and 5 protein bars.
