Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest number of groups they can be split into and have the same number of boys and girls on each team is 6 groups
Given:
Number of girls = 12
Number of boys = 16
Find the highest common factor of 12 and 16
12 = 1, 2, 4
18 = 1, 2,4
The highest common factor of 12 and 16 is 4
Number of girls in each group = 12/4
= 3 girls
Number of boy in each group = 18/4
= 4.5 boys=5
Therefore, the group can be split into 4 groups to have 3 girls and 5 boys in each group
