A baker has 72 vanilla cupcakes and 80 chocolate cupcakes. She wants to make platters that have both kinds of cupcakes, and she
wants to have the same number of each kind on each platter. Question A: What is the greatest number of platters she can make with no cupcakes left over?
Question B: How many of each cupcake will be on each platter?
___ platters with __ vanilla cupcakes and __ chocolate cupcakes
P.S. I found the GCF of 72 and 80 (it is 8), I'm just not really sure what to do next so your help will be appreciated!!
Answer : 80 ÷ 10 = 8 chocolate cupcakes per platter. 72 ÷ 10 = 7.2 vanilla cupcakes per platter, and assuming you don't want to cut up to cupcakes into fifths, you'll have 2 vanilla cupcakes left over.
