A baker has 88 chocolate cookies and 66 vanilla cookies. What is the greatest number of identical cookie bags that can be made without any cookies leftover?

Respuesta :

I think we're looking here for the Greatest Common Divisor: this will be the number of the bags.

What would it be? number 88 and 66 look similar... they're both divisible by 11 (becuase all numbers with two equal digits are) and they're even, so they must be divisible by 22!

88 is 4 times 22 and 66 is 3 times 22.

We know that this is the maximum number, as 3 and 4 don't have a common divisor other than 1:)

So: there will be 22 bags, with 4 chocolate cookies and 3 vanila cookies each!


I think that this is the answer  I think there would be 22
