Answer:
there will be 8 plates each having 3 cubes of Cheese and 5 crackers
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the greatest number of plates she can make using all the cheese and crackers, find the highest common factor of 24 and 40
24 = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
40 = 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
Highest common factor of 24 and 40 is 8
24 cubes of cheese / 8 plates = 3 cubes of cheese per plate
40 crackers / 8 plates = 5 crackers per plate
So, there will be 8 plates each having 3 cubes of Cheese and 5 crackers
