Answer 2

Answer:

Leslie can make 10 packs, each having 2 apples and 3 cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Leslie is in charge of packing snacks for her class she has 30 cookies and 20 apples. She wants to put the same number of apples in each pack.

To solve our given problem, we will find greatest common factor of 30 and 20.

Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.

Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30.

We can see that 10 is the greatest common factor of 30 and 20, therefore, Leslie can make 10 packs.

$\text{Number of apples in each pack}=\frac{20}{10}=2$

$\text{Number of cookies in each pack}=\frac{30}{10}=3$

Therefore, there would be 2 apples and 3 cookies in each pack.
