Mr. Kent is making prize bags for a party using two types of items. He has soft candies, hard candies, mini pencils, mini pens, chocolate coins, and mini puzzles that he can choose from to make these prize bags.

    9 pens and 15 puzzles ... GCF is 3

    9/3 = 3 : 15/3 = 5

    he can make 3 bags, each containing 3 pens and 5 puzzles

    6 soft candies and 18 pencils ... GCF = 6

    6/6 = 1 : 18/6 = 3

    he can make 6 bags, each containing 1 soft candy and 3 pencils

    8 chocolate coins and 12 hard candies ... GCF = 4

    8/4 = 2 : 12/4 = 3

    he can make 4 bags, each containing 2 chocolate coins and 3 hard candies
