Question

Juliette made cookies for a bake sale and wants to package the same number of cookies together. If she makes 16 chocolate chip cookies, 32 mint cookies, and 24 gingerbread cookies, what is the most number of each type of cookie that will be in the bag?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked in the above question to find the most number of cookies that would be in the bag.

We solve the above question using the Greatest Common Factor method

We find the factors of 16, 24, 32

The factors of 16 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The factors of 32 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

Then the greatest common factor is 8.

Therefore, the most number of each type of cookie that will be in the bag is 8 cookies
