Question

Ram has 15 red balloons and 18 blue balloons. He wants to make equal bunches out of them

in a way that each bunch has only one colour. How many different ways can he make the

bunches with the same colour in each bunch? What is the biggest bunch he can make?​

Answer 1

ANSWER

3 Bunch of ballon of 11

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + 18 = 33

3×11 =33

Answer 2

Given:

No. of red balloons = 15

No. of blue balloons = 18

To find:

No. of ways Ram can make bunches with the same colour in each bunch.

No. of balloons in the biggest bunch.

Solution:

To find the no. of ways to make bunches of the same colour, we determine the HCF of $15$ and $18$.

$15=3*5$

$18=2*3*3$

$HCF(15,18)=3$

Ram can make equal bunches of the same colour balloons in $3$ ways.

No. of red balloons in a bunch = $\frac{15}{3}=5$ balloons

No. of blue balloons in a bunch = $\frac{18}{3}=6$ balloons

The biggest bunch he can make is $6$ balloons.

Ram can make 3 equal bunches for each of red and blue coloured balloons.

The biggest bunch he can make is 6 blue balloons.
