To find the greatest number of snack bags Destiny can make, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 18 and 12.
The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.
The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.
The common factors are: 1, 2, 3, 6.
So the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 18 and 12 is 6.
This means that Destiny can make 6 snack bags with the 18 chocolate candy bars and the 12 cookies. Answer: \boxed{6}.
Destiny just received two separate gifts from her great-great-grandmother. The first gift is a box of 18 chocolate candy bars, and the second gift is a pack of 12 cookies. Destiny wants to use all of the chocolate candy bars and cookies to make identical snack bags for her cousins. What is the greatest number of snack bags that Destiny can make?
