Dr. Stein bought 30 notebooks, 60 pencils and 300 erasers to make identical packages with some notebooks, some pencils and some erasers for his students. He used everything he bought, and every student got a package. What is the largest number of students Dr. Stein can have in his class?

The key word is "identical." If all students received identical packages, then Dr. Stein could have handed out 30 packages. He has a maximum of 30 notebooks to hand out, so if each package has one notebook, he can hand out 30 packages. Each of those 30 packages will also have 2 pencils and 10 erasers.

ANSWER: There are 30 packages maximum so he can have a maximum of 30 students.

Hope this helps! :)

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is an operation that represents the basic idea of repeated addition of the same number.

Given

Dr. Stein bought 30 notebooks, 60 pencils and 300 erasers to make identical packages with some notebooks, some pencils and some erasers for his students.

He used everything he bought, and every student got a package.

Each student received the same number of notebooks, pencils and erasers.

30 notebooks = 3 × 10 = 3 notebooks × 10 students

60 pencils = 6 × 10 = 6 pencils × 10 students

300 erasers = 30 × 10 = 30 erasers × 10 students

So, each student receives a package consisting of 3 notebooks, 6 pencils and 30 erasers.

Therefore, a total of 10 students are in Dr. Stein's class.
