Answer:
Sue will need 13 bags in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the bags needed when highest number of cookies is placed in each bag.
We will find the greatest common factor of 16 and 10.
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
10 = 2 x 5
Greatest common factor is 2.
She will put 2 cookies in each bag.
So, the maximum bags she will need are :
For peanut butter cookies = [tex]10/2=5[/tex]
For oatmeal cookies = [tex]16/2=8[/tex]
Total bags = [tex]5+8=13[/tex]
Therefore, Sue will need 13 bags in total.
