Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) Lily has 24 chocolate chip cookies and 32 vanilla wafers, since she has to put the chocolate and vanilla in the same bag, the number of bags must be a factor of 24 and 32. Below the bags are listed:

Number of bags:                       1              2              4                  8

Number of cookies:                  24           12              6                 3

Number of wafers                      32           16              8                 4

This means that the largest number of bag is 8 which would contain 3 cookies and 4 wafers

b) For the chocolate chip to be placed, the number of bags must be a factor of 24. It is given below:

Number of bags:                    1           2          3           4          6         8           24

Number of cookies:              24        12         8           6          4           3          1

c) For the vanilla wafers to be placed, the number of bags must be a factor of 32. It is given below:

Number of bags:                    1           2             4          8         16           32

Number of wafers:                32        16             6          4          2          1
