The greatest number of bags that the Johansen family can make with these science supplies would be 6 bags.
They have 18 test tubes and 6 pairs of goggles. Since they want each bag to have the same amount of supplies and to use up all of the items, they can package 3 test tubes and 1 pair of goggles in each bag. Therefore, they can make 6 bags with 3 test tubes and 1 pair of goggles in each bag.
