Question

There are 64 girls and 72 boys who want to participate in an annual function of the school. If each team must have the same number of girls and the same number of boys, then what is the greatest number of teams that can participate in the annual function?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in the class-

72 + 64 = 136

Each group should contain either girl or a boy.

Take HCF of 72 and 36

HCF is 8

Now divide total number of students by the HCF

136/8 = 17

17 GROUPS WILL BE FORMED
