<u>Answer:</u>

4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that a PE class has 12 boys and 8 girls. The teacher needs to divide in maximum number of teams so that each team has an equal number of boys and girls.

For this, we will factors of 12 and 8 and their greatest common factor.

12 = 4 × 3 = 2 × 2 × 3

8 = 4 × 2 = 2 × 2 × 2

The greatest common factor is 4, therefore the maximum number of teams with equal number of boys and girls is 4.

Trava [24]
X - quarters, x+5 - dimes.
$74=7400 cents
Then
(25x+10(x+5))=(25x+10x+50)=(35x+50) cents. 

35x+50=7400
35x=7400-50
35x=7350
x=7350/35
x=210 quarters

x+5=210+5=215 dimes

210 quarters and 215 dimes
