Marcus collects donations and sends care packages to trips overseas.He has 36 bars of soap in 24 toothbrushes.And you want to still arrange the items?So the packages are identical.What is the greatest number of packages that marcus can make using all the soap and toothbrushes
To make the packages identical, each package should contain an equal number of soap bars and toothbrushes.
To find the maximum number of packages that Marcus can make, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers - 36 and 24.
The GCD of 36 and 24 is 12.
So, Marcus can make 12 packages, with each package containing 3 soap bars and 2 toothbrushes.
