Answer:

5 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Candy pieces = 60

Chocolate = 45

What should be the smallest number of her sister's friends for the distribution of candy and chocolate so each friend gets an equal number of candy pieces and chocolates in a way that there should not be left any chocolate or candy pieces left over?

To calculate this, find the lowest factor of 60 and 45

60:

Factors = 2, 4, 5, 6,

45:

Factors= 3, 5, 9

The lowest common factor of 60 and 45 is 5

The smallest number of her sister's friend so each person get an equal number of candy pieces and chocolate so there won't be any leftover is 5

That is

If there are 5 friends at the birthday party

60 candy pieces among 5 friends

= 60/5

= 12 pieces each

45 chocolate among 5 friends

= 45/5

= 9 each
