Baker has 72 vanilla cupcakes and 80 choolate cupcakes. she wants to make platters that have both kinds of cupcakes and she wants to have the same number of each kind on each platter. a) can the baker make 10 platters of cupcakes with no left overs. b) what the greatest # platters she can mske with no cupcakes left over. how many of each kind of cupcakes will be on each platter

The baker is unable to fill ten platters of cupcakes without having 2 vanilla cupcakes left over. While 80 is divisible by 10 and comes out evenly, 72 on the other hand will leaving you with a decimal.

The greatest number of platters the baker can make without having any cupcakes left over are 8 platters. 8 is the greatest common factor between 80 and 72, and will give you 10 chocolate cupcakes and 9 vanilla cupcakes per platter.

1. is 4 and 2. is 3

step-by-step explanation:

so if you look at the first one you see that 1 is to 4 and 2 is to 8 and so on, so you can see for every 1 there is a times 4 so if it were 3 then it would be 3*4 and it is 12

for number 2 it is 3 because 1 is to 3 and 2 is to 6 so for every 1 there is 3 so if it were 3 then there would be 3*3 = 9
