Question

What is the largest number of identical sets that you can create by dividing the fish and plants evenly? Explain. 24 FISH 18 PLANTS

Answer 1

To find the largest number of identical sets that one can create from a group of two items, one must find the Greatest Common denominator of the two values, since that will be the greatest number of groups that can be made. Just by looking at the two values, one can see that the GCD is 6. Since the question doesn't ask how many fish and plants there are in each group, we can just leave our answer as 6. But, if the question did ask how many fish and plants there were, we could divide the total number of each category by the number of groups to find how many of each item there is per group. For example, for the fish, 24/6 is 4, so there are 4 fish in each group. 

Answer 2

So you need one plant and one fish
there are 24 fish and 18 plants, you need one for one
18 plants and 18 fish
