Question

Brady has a card collection with 32 baseball cards, 64 baseball cards, and 24 baseball cards. He wants to arrange the cards in equal piles, with only one type of card in each pile.

Answer 1

4 B1, 8 B2 and 3 B3

Explanation:

Given

The collections are:

`B_1 = 32`

`B_2 = 64`

`B_3 = 24`

Required

Determine the number of cards in each pile [Missing Information]

To do this, we simply calculate the GCF of the given collections.

`32 = 2*2*2*2*2`

`64 = 2*2*2*2*2*2`

`24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3`

The GCF is:

`GCF = 2 * 2 * 2`

`GCF = 8`

This implies that, there are 8 equal piles in total

The number of each collection in each pile is:

`B_1 = 32`

`B_1 = 32/8`

`B_1 = 4`

`B_2 = 64`

`B_2 = 64/8`

`B_2 = 8`

`B_3 = 24`

`B_3 = 24/8`

`B_3 = 3`
