Answer: There are 6 sections in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of first deli = 18 inches

Length of second deli = 30 inches

We need to cut into equal sections that are as long as possible.

So, we will find H.C.F. of 18 and 30 = 6

So, the length of first deli should be cut into 18÷ 6 = 3 inches

Length of second deli should be cut into 30÷ 6 = 5 inches.

Hence, there are 6 sections in all.
