Answer:

No, I do not.

She can pack up to 12 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Glow\ sticks = 72[/tex]

[tex]Markers = 36[/tex]

[tex]Bubbles = 24[/tex]

Required

Is Tasha correct?

The maximum number of bags she can pack is determined by the greatest common factors (GCF) of the items.

i.e. GCF of 72, 36 and 24.

This is calculated as:

[tex]24 = 2*2*2*3[/tex]

[tex]36 = 2 * 2 *3*3[/tex]

[tex]72 = 2 * 2 * 2 *3*3[/tex]

Multiply all common factors:

[tex]GCF = 2 * 2 * 3[/tex]

[tex]GCF = 12[/tex]

The GCF is 12.

This implies that she can pack up to 12 bags
