Question

A school chorus has 60 sixth-grade students and 48 seventh-grade students. The music director wants to make groups of performers with the same combination of sixth and seventh-grade students in each group. She wants to form as many groups as possible. What is the largest number of groups that could be formed?

Answer 1

60/48
Both can be reduced by 12 to 5/4
So you can have 12 groups with 5 6th graders and 4 7th graders
