Jenny places a total of 18 red Easter eggs in several green baskets and a total of 24 orange Easter eggs in some blue baskets. Each basket contains the same number of eggs and there are at least 4 eggs in each basket. How many eggs did Jenny put in each basket?
factors of 18 that are at least 4 are 6,9 and 18
factors of 24 that are at least 4 are 4,6,8,12,24
The ONLY common factors that is at least 4 is 6
so ther must be 6 eggs in each basket.
So there are 6 red eggs in each of 3 green baskets and
and there are 6 orange eggs in each of 4 blue baskets.
