Question

The first gift is a box of 18 chocolate candy bars, and the second gift is a pack of 12cookies. Destiny wants to use all of the chocolate candy bars and cookies to make identical snack bags for her cousins. What is the greatest number of snack bags that Destiny can make?

Answer 1

She can only make 12 bags because there are only 12 cookies and all the bags need to be identical

Answer 2

First you want to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of both numbers so you can figure out the amount of snack bags Destiny can make

1, 2, 3 ,6, 9, 18

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Destiny can make 6 snack bags

Hope that helped!
