Zoe is organizing a community event and has 36 red balloons and 24 blue balloons. She wants to create gift bags for kids with the same number of each color of balloon in every bag. What is the greatest number of gift bags she can make without having any leftover balloons?
- 6
- 12 ✓
- 9
- 8
Why: To find the greatest number of gift bags Zoe can make without any leftover balloons, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 36 and 24. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. The largest common factor is 12. Therefore, Zoe can make 12 gift bags, each containing 3 red balloons and 2 blue balloons.
Amara wants to plant a garden in her backyard. She has 24 flower seeds and 18 vegetable seeds. She wants to plant them in rows with the same number of seeds in each row. What is the greatest number of rows she can make while ensuring each row has the same number of flower seeds and the same number of vegetable seeds?
- 6 ✓

- 12
- 9
Why: To find the greatest number of rows Amara can make, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 24 and 18. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and the factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18. The largest factor they share is 6. Thus, Amara can create 6 rows with the same number of flower and vegetable seeds in each row.
