Answer 1

There would be 2 groups. The greatest amount in each pile is 2 cards.

Answer 2

Answer: There are 8 soccer cards and 11 baseball cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of soccer cards = 16

Number of baseball = 22

We need to greatest number of cards she can put in each group.

So, H.C.F. of 16 and 22 = 2

Hence, there are 2 cards she can put in each group.

Number of groups of soccer cards is given by

$\dfrac{16}{2}=8$

Number of groups of baseball cards is given by

$\dfrac{22}{2}=11$

Hence, there are 8 soccer cards and 11 baseball cards.
