Well first,you need to determine how many cookies Sue needs to put in each bag.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the answer and what do i do to find the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you would place 2 cookies in each bag. Because the GCF of 10 and 16 is 2. So you would have 5 bags of PB and 8 bags of Oatmeal

@Maddiem is right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How in the world did you get 13?!?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer has to be 8,10,13,16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MsCreepyPasta how is 13 a possible answer??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says that it has to be 8,10,13,16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes 13 is the answer I'm sorry. I thought the question was how many cookies in each bag not how many bags there are. The answer is 13 because 8+5=13 which is how many bags there are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem. Sorry for the confusion. :P
