Rosy has 16 pencils and 24 erasers. she is putting together packets that will have an equal number of pencils and erasers in each packet. if rosy uses all of the pencils and erasers, what is the maximum number of packets she can make?

She can make 8 packets, with each packet holding 2 pencils and 3 erasers.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the highest number they can both be divided by? 24 can be divided by 3, but 16 cant. They can both be divided by 2, but can we go any higher? 8 is the highest number both of them can be divided by, because it is half of 16. If we divide both numbers by 8, we get the exact amount of each item in each pouch.

Hope this helps!
