Aliza Simmons · Answer 1

9 pens and 15 puzzles ... GCF is 3

9/3 = 3 : 15/3 = 5

he can make 3 bags, each containing 3 pens and 5 puzzles

6 soft candies and 18 pencils ... GCF = 6

6/6 = 1 : 18/6 = 3

he can make 6 bags, each containing 1 soft candy and 3 pencils

8 chocolate coins and 12 hard candies ... GCF = 4

8/4 = 2 : 12/4 = 3

he can make 4 bags, each containing 2 chocolate coins and 3 hard candies
