What is the greatest number of bags Cesar can make and Each bag would have pasta and jars of sauce

The greatest number of bags Cesar can make is 16 bags.

Each bag would have 2 pasta and 3 of jars of sauce

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using Greatest Common Factor method

The factors of 32 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

The factors of 48 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

Then the greatest common factor is 16.

Hence, the greatest number of bags Cesar can make is 16 bags.

For Pasta, We have 32 pasta

Each bag would have: 32/16

= 2 pasta

For Jars of sauce, we have 48 jars of sauce.= 48/16

= 3 jars of sauce
