Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Julia and Sandhu each had a total of 12 bars.

How many bars could there be in one package

12 = 1 * 12

12 = 2 * 6

12 = 3 *  4

in One package there can be  1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 or 12 Bars

Julia had 24 bars and Sandhu had 18 bars.

24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

18 = 2 * 3 * 3

HCF = 2 * 3 = 6

6 = 1 * 6

6 = 2 * 3

There can be 1 , 2 , 3 or  6  Bars in one Package
