You put 56 green marbles and 24 yellow marbles into bags. Each bag has the same number of green marbles and the same number of yellow marbles. What is the greatest possible number of bags you can make using all the marbles? How many green marbles are in each bag? How many yellow marbles?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 bags

7 green marbles and 3 yellow marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the GCF of 24 and 56

24 = 4 x 6

= 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

56 = 7 x 8

= 7 x 4 x 2

= 7 x 2 x 2 x 2

The common factors are - 2 x 2 x 2, which is 8.

So the greatest number of bags they can make is 8

Divide the amount of marbles by the number of bags

24 yellow marbles and 8 bags, so 24/8 is 3

56 green marbles and 8 bags, so 56/8 is 7
