Answer:

There are 4 teams coach Matt could have

Each team consist of

4 Fifth graders per team and

9 Sixth graders per team

Step-by-step explanation:

Fifth graders = 16

Sixth graders = 36

Find the highest common factor of 16 and 36

16 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

The highest common factor of 16 and 36 is 4

Therefore,

There are 4 teams coach Matt could have

Fifth graders per team = 16 / 4

= 4 Fifth graders per team

Sixth graders per team = 36 / 4

= 9 Sixth graders per team

Answer:

4 5th graders and 9 6th graders
