Answer 2

Answer:

12 friends, 7 blue and 4 red beads

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The greatest number of friends who can receive a lanyard would be 12 friends. This is because 12 is the largest number that can evenly divide both 48 and 84.

(b) Each friend will receive a lanyard with 7 blue beads and 4 red beads. These numbers are found by dividing the number of each beads you have by the number of friends you give them to.

Blue beads/ # of friends

$84/12=7$

Red beads/ # of friends

$48/12=4$
