Sarah bought 96 pencils and 84 erasers to make gift bags for her friends.
Each bag will have pencils and erasers.
Each bag will have the same number of pencils.
Each bag will have the same number of erasers.
If she uses all the supplies, what is the greatest number of pencils Sarah can put in each
bag?

A. 6

B. 8

C. 12

D. 16

D. 16

Step-by-step explanation: The easiest way to solve this is just by dividing the options with the information you already have.

96 divided by 6 = 16

84 divided by 6 = 14

96 divided by 8 = 12

84 divided by 8 = 10.5

96 divided by 12 = 8

84 divided by 12 = 7

96 divided by 16 = 6

84 divided by 16 = 5.25

The answer would be 16, It's the most she's able to put in every bag for an equal number.
