The concept of greatest common factor is used to solve this question. Then, we use it to find the number of crackers and slices of cheese, and the answer is:

  • The greatest number of plates you can prepare is 6.
  • Each plate will have 3 crackers.
  • Each plate will have 2 slices of cheese.

--------------------------------

To find the greatest number of plates, you need to find the greatest common factor between 12 and 18.

Thus, factoring them, always by the same number:

12 - 18|2

6 - 9|3

2 - 3

The greatest common factor is 2x3 = 6, which means that the greatest number of plates you can prepare is 6.

--------------------------------

18 crackers, so each plate has 18/6 = 3 crackers.

12 slices of cheese, so each plate has 12/6 = 2 slices of cheese.
