Answer 1

Answer: 13 packages.

Explanation:

This can be translated to:

Tim has 39 pairs of headphones and 13 music players. Tim wants to sell all the headphones and music players in identical packages. What is the largest number of packages that Tim can do?

To solve this we must find the largest common factor between 39 and 13.

to do this, we divide the smaller number by different integers, and see if the result also divides the larger number into an integer.

13/1 =13 and 39/13 = 3

So 13 is the largest common factor.

This means that we can make 13 packages, each with:

39/13= 3 headphones

13/13 = 1 music players
