Question

3. Shaswat distributed 54 snickas, 72 kitkats and 90 cadburie s equally to his classmates on the occasion of his birthday. What was the greatest number of students in his class? How many chocolates of each type did everyone get?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Greatest number of students in Shaswat's class = 18

Chocolates of each type received by each student =

Snickers - 3

Kit Kat's - 4

Cadbury's - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest number of students in Shaswat's class = HCF of 54, 72 and 90

Factors of 54 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54

Factors of 72 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

Factors of 90 = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90

GCF = 18

Chocolates of each type received by each student = Amount of each type of chocolate / 18

Snicker's - 54 / 18 = 3

Kit Kat's - 72 / 18 = 4

Cadbury's = 90 / 18 = 5
