Answer: The greatest number of pages Kenji can decorate = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total heart stickers = 15

Total star stickers =12

If all the papers identical, with the same combination of heart and star stickers and no stickers left over.

Then the greatest number of pages Kenji can decorate = GCD(15,12)  [GCD=greatest common divisor]

Since 15 = 3 x 5

12=2 x 2 x 3

GCD(15,12) =3

Hence, the greatest number of pages Kenji can decorate = 3
