Question 990018: At the opening of a fair, there were two bands. One had 36 members and the other has 30 members. The band leaders were told to march so that there were as many members marching abreast in a row and both bands must have the same number in a row. If you were one of the band leaders, how would you arrange your band for the march in terms of number of groups and member per group? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Common divisors of 30 and 36 are:
2, 5, 6, and 10
-----------------
I would arrange the groups as:
30 members:
6 across
5 deep
---------
36 members:
6 across
6 deep
