Question

you are making balloon arrangements for a birthday party. There are 16 white balloons and 24 red balloons . Each arrangement must be identical .What is the greatest number of arrangements you can make using every balloon

Answer 1

The answer would be 8, hope i helped

Answer 2

This is a GCF problem. To find the GCF, list the factors.
24
1×24, 2×12, 4×6, 8×3 ...

16
1×16, 2×8, 4×4, ...

The greatest common factor is 8 because it is the greatest factor of both numbers.

so 8 arrangements, 2 white balloons and 3 red balloons each.
Because- 8 is the number of groups, and 8×3 =24 so 3 reds, and 2 whites because 8×2=16
