Answer 1

Answer: The greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = 4

and there will be 3 chickens and 4 rolls in each plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Lenin is preparing dinner plates. He has 12 pieces of chicken and 16 rolls.

To make all the plates identical without any food left over, the greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = G.C.D.(12,16)=4

The number of pieces of chicken in each plate = $\dfrac{12}{4}=3$

The number of pieces of rolls in each plate = $\dfrac{16}{4}=4$

So,  the greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = 4

and there will be 3 chickens and 4 rolls in each plate.
