Kiara baked 30 oatmeal cookies and 48 chocolate chip cookies to package in plastic containers for her teacher friends at school
She wants to divide the cookies into identical containers so that each
container has the same number of each kind of cookie.
If she wants each container to have the greatest number of cookies possible, how many plastic containers does she
need?

Number of oatmeal cookies with Kiara = 30

Number of chocolate chips cookies with Kiara = 48

To find the greatest number of container neded so that there are equal amount of each cookies in each , we have to find the HCF of 30 and 48 .

Factors of 32 = 1 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 16 and 32

Factors of 48 = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 12 , 16 , 24 and 48

Common and highest among these factors = 16

Which means 16 is the HCF of 32 and 48 .

∴ Kiara will need 16 plastic containers .

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
