Question

The 48 members of a chorus will sit in rows in front of the 300 members of the audience. All the rows have the same number of chairs. What is the greatest possible number of chairs in each row?

Answer 1

1. We need to find the greatest common divisor. IT might be 36. We check : 36/36 =1 , 72/36 = 2, 144/36 = 4
So the greatest number of students who can receive fruit is 36 (each student gets 1,2,4 fruits respectively)

2. Hmm...I'm sorta confused about this question...are the 48 members in the rows along with the 300 members?

Answer 2
