Answer 2

Concept Introduction: Equal distribution is very important.

Given:

We have been Given: No. of Notebooks is

$16$

and no. of pencils is

$24$

To Find:

We have to Find: What is the highest number of students among whom she candistribute the notebooks and the pencils equally?

Solution:

According to the problem, if we look closely the numbers are multiples of

$8$

therefore, we first distribute the first

$8$

students equally. The remaining will be

$16 - 8 = 8 \\ 24 - 8 = 16$

now, we see that there is still some left and can be distributed equally among another

$8$

students. Therefore the remaining is

$8 - 8 = 0 \\ 16 - 8 = 8$

therefore the highest number of students among whom she can distribute the notebooks and pencils equally is

$8 + 8 = 16$

Final Answer: the highest number of students among whom she can distribute the notebooks and pencils equally is

$16$
