Question

Eric is putting together snack bags for his classmates. He bought 18 granola bars and 9 apples. Each snack bag will have the same number of granola bars and apples. Does Eric have enough food to make 10 snack bags?

Yes or no, and why?

Answer 1

Eric does not have enough food to make 10 snack bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eric has 18 granola bars and 9 apples. To make snack bags with the same number of granola bars and apples, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 18 and 9. The GCD of 18 and 9 is 9. So Eric can make 9 snack bags with 9 granola bars and 9 apples.

Since Eric only has enough ingredients for 9 snack bags, he does not have enough food to make 10 snack bags.

Answer: No, Eric does not have enough food to make 10 snack bags.
