Question

Angela has 24 golf balls and 18 golf clubs. She wants to sell packages of balls and paddles bundled together. What is the greatest number of packages she can sell with no leftover balls and clubs?

Answer 1

the greatest common factor of 24 and 18 is 6

24/6 = 4 golf balls
18/6 = 3 paddles

so she can sell 6 packages, with each one containing 4 golf balls and 3 paddles.
