Answer 1

Given: Room A has 12 chairs, B has 18 chairs and C has 24 chairs. In each room, the chairs are arranged In rows with the same number of chairs in each row.

To find: What is the greatest possible number of chairs in each row in the 3 rooms?

Solution:

• Now we have given that number of chairs in room A is 12, in room B is 18 and in room C is 24.

• So, we are supposed to find the greatest possible no of chairs in each row in the 3 rooms.

• To calculate this, we can use the method of HCF.

• So HCF of the three numbers is:

                  H.C.F. (12, 18, 24) = 3

 

Answer:                                                          

                 So, 3 is the greatest possible number of chairs in each row in the 3 rooms.
