Answer 1

Answer:

I don't knowwwwwwwwwwwww

Answer 2

Given:

No. of basket balls = 18

No. of foot balls = 27

No. of cricket balls = 45

To find:

No. of identical packets Prakash can make.

No. of items in each packet.

Solution:

To determine the no. of packets that Prakash has to give as gifts, we have to find the HCF of $18,27$ and $45$.

The factors of these numbers are:

$18=2*3*3$

$27=3*3*3$

$45=3*3*5$

The common factor among these three numbers is $3*3=9$.

Hence, Prakash has to make $9$ identical packets.

To determine the no. of items in these identical packets, divide each of the numbers with $9$.

No. of basket balls in each packet = Total no. of basket balls/No. of identical packets

No. of basket balls in each packet = $\frac{18}{9}=2$

No. of foot balls in each packet = Total no. of foot balls/No. of identical packets

No. of foot balls in each packet =  $\frac{27}{9}=3$

No. of cricket balls in each packet = Total no. of cricket balls/No. of identical packets

No. of cricket balls in each packet = $\frac{45}{9}=5$

Hence, each packet should contain $2$ basket balls, $3$ footballs and $5$ cricket balls.

Prakash can make 9 identical packets to gift his friends with each packet containing 2 basket balls, 3 footballs and 5 cricket balls.
