Answer:

The greatest number of bags that can be assembled here is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step here is to determine the greatest common factor of 54 and 99.

54 is 2(27) = 2(3^3), and 99 IS 11(3^2), or

54 = 6(9) and 99 = 11(9).

Thus, we could make 9 identical marble bags each containing 6 blue marbles and 11 yellow marbles.
