Question 1191895: MAT 145: Topics In Contemporary Math
Use GCF or LCM to find each of the following.
3) There are 30 people who identify as female and 36 male-identifying people in a bowling
league. The president wants to divide the members into all-make and all-female teams,
each of the same size. Find the number of members and the number of teams for each
gender identification
Answer by CPhill(1987)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! To figure this out, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 30 and 36. Here's how:
**Factors of 30:** 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
**Factors of 36:** 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
The greatest common factor is 6.
* **Team size:** 6 members
* **Number of female teams:** 30 females / 6 members per team = 5 teams
* **Number of male teams:** 36 males / 6 members per team = 6 teams
