Answer 1

$\sf \: \frac{20}{4} = 5, so \: there \: will \: be \: 5 \: red \: pencils \: in \: each$

box.

$\sf \: \frac{24}{4} = 6, so \: there \: will \: be \: 6 green \: pencils$

in each box. So, if we want the maximum number of identical boxes, we would have 4 boxes with 5 red and 6 green pencils in each box.
