    Kayla can put 9 stickers in each bag.

    she can distribute it into bags of 9 stickers each of the same colour.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given;

    yellow stickers = 36

    red stickers = 27

    blue stickers = 18

    For her to distribute the stickers into bags so that each bag contains only one color of stickers and every bag has the same number of stickers without remainder.

    We need to find the highest common factor of the number of the three colours.

    36 = 4*9

    27 = 3*9

    18 = 2*9

    We can see that they are all divisible by 9

    Therefore, she can distribute it into bags of 9 stickers each
