Answer:
The largest number of bundles he could create without any left over is 5.
Each bundle to contain 4 pencils, 16 pens and 11 markers
Step-by-step explanation:
Pencils = 20
Pens = 80
Markers = 55
a) What is the largest number of bundles he could create without any left over?
Find the highest common multiple of 20, 80 and 55
20 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
80 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20......
55 = 1, 5, 11, 55
The highest common multiple of 20, 80 and 50 is 5
Pencils = 20 / 5
= 4
Pens = 80 / 5
= 16
Markers = 55 / 5
= 11
The largest number of bundles he could create without any left over is 5.
Each bundle to contain 4 pencils, 16 pens and 11 markers
