I just need to teach my daughter so please teach me

Answer 1

this is a round about way of being asked to find the greatest common divisor of 15,30 and 48

Answer 2

in other words, find the largest number that divides each of those evenly
it is not very large

Answer 3

let me know if that is clear or confusing

Answer 4

you can make a group of 3 for each of them since then it evenly divides for all of them

Answer 5

can I get a medal?

Answer 6

also to teach her this tell her that she needs to learn how to divide and find GCM LCM GCF LCF etc. it will make it easier.

Answer 7

She needs to know how to figure out how many quarters, dimes, and so forth goes into each group

Answer 30

print out nickels, dimes, quarters etc. and then make a flash card like game

when printing it out just put on the back of it put how much it is worth
