Question

There are 12 girls and 16 boys . What is the largest number in each group?

Answer 1

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
