Question

Courtney has 27 chocolate chip cookies and 36 oatmeal raisin cookies. She needs to arrange them on trays. She doesn't want to combine either type of cookies and she wants the same number on each tray. What is the largest number of cookies she can have on each tray?
Probably the easiest question but I don't get it can someone give me a strategy to use or explain how to solve

Answer 1

Well since she's trying to get 2 trays of equal cookies you subtract like how much does 27 go into 36 once so that's how much on each tray 27
