1. You are making gift bags to give to your friends at a birthday party. You have 36 candy bars, 24 pencils, and 48 erasers to d
ivide among the gift bags. You want to divide the items evenly and not have any items left over. a. List the common factors of 36, 24, and 48. Which common factor represents the greatest number of gift bags you can make? Explain. b. If you make the greatest number of gift bags, how many of each item would go in each bag? Show how you know.
A. The common factors of 36, 24, and 48 is that they are all factors of the number 12.
B. If making the greatest number of gift bags without having anything left over and so that each item is distributed evenly between all of the bags, you would have to find the highest common denominator for those numbers and that number is 12.
Step-by-step explanation: theGCF of 36 and 24 is 12 the GCF of 36 and 48 is 12 and the GCF of 48 and 24 is 12 and 24
PRT TWO: there would be 2 pencils in each bag 3 candy barsin each and 4 erasers in each because 24 divided by 12 = 2 36 divided by 12 = 3 and 48 dividedby 12 = 4
