Question

Shaquira is baking cookies to put in packages for a fundraiser. Shaquira has made 86
chocolate chip cookies and 42 sugar cookies.
Shaquira wants to create identical packages of cookies to sell, and she must use all of the cookies.

Answer 1

Answer:

We need to find H.C.F. if 42 and 86

2|42,86

|21,43

So, H.C.F.=2

Total no. of cooking = 42+86= 128

No. of packets made =128/2= 64

So,Shaqira has to make 64 packets of 2 cookies each.

Hope this helps you understand:)

Answer 2

Answer:2

Step-by-step explanation:

n order to know how many packages Shaquira can make, we need a number that is a factor of \red{86}86start color #df0030, 86, end color #df0030 and \green{42}42start color #28ae7b, 42, end color #28ae7b, so that the \red{86}86start color #df0030, 86, end color #df0030 chocolate chip cookies and the \green{42}42start color #28ae7b, 42, end color #28ae7b sugar cookies can be divided up evenly.

Hint #22 / 3

To find the greatest number of packages of cookies, we want to find the greatest common factor of \red{86}86start color #df0030, 86, end color #df0030 and \green{42}42start color #28ae7b, 42, end color #28ae7b.

To do so, let's find factors of \red{86}86start color #df0030, 86, end color #df0030 and \green{42}42start color #28ae7b, 42, end color #28ae7b.

\red{86}86start color #df0030, 86, end color #df0030: 1, \blue2, 43, 861,2,43,861, comma, start color #6495ed, 2, end color #6495ed, comma, 43, comma, 86

\green{42}42start color #28ae7b, 42, end color #28ae7b: 1, \blue2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 421,2,3,6,7,14,21,421, comma, start color #6495ed, 2, end color #6495ed, comma, 3, comma, 6, comma, 7, comma, 14, comma, 21, comma, 42

The greatest common factor of \red{86}86start color #df0030, 86, end color #df0030 and \green{42}42start color #28ae7b, 42, end color #28ae7b is \blue22start color #6495ed, 2, end color #6495ed. In math notation this looks like:

\qquad\text{gcf}(\red{86}, \green{42}) = \blue2gcf(86,42)=2start text, g, c, f, end text, left parenthesis, start color #df0030, 86, end color #df0030, comma, start color #28ae7b, 42, end color #28ae7b, right parenthesis, equals, start color #6495ed, 2, end color #6495ed.

Hint #33 / 3

The greatest number of identical packages that Shaquira can make is \blue22start color #6495ed, 2, end color #6495ed.vvvvvv
