Question

Alice is making balloon bunches from 6 red balloons and 15 blue balloons. She wants the same number of red balloons and the same number of blue balloons in each bunch. What is the greatest number of balloon bunches that Alice can making all the balloons?

Answer 1

3 bunches of 2 balloons each

Answer 2

3 bunches

Explanation:

We are given that Alice is making balloon bunches from 6 red balloons and 15 blue balloons.

She wants the same number of red balloons and the same number of blue balloons in each bunch.

We have to find the greatest number of balloon bunches that Alice can making from all the balloons.

We will find the HCF of 6 and 15

`6=2* 3`

`15=3* 5`

Common factor of 6 and 15 is 3.

Hence, HCF of 6 and 15=3

Therefore, Alice makes 3 bunches with 2 red balloons and 5 blue balloons.
