Answer:
i. The greatest number of teams to participate in the intramurals is 8.
ii. Each team would comprise 5 girls and 4 boys.
Step-by-step explanation:
Intramurals are sport activities that are sometimes organized by educational union for recreational purpose. Examples include; baseball, basket ball, lawn tennis etc.
From the question, it was stated that the same number of girls and the same number of boys must be in each team. Since there are 40 girls and 32 boys to participate in the intramural, then let us consider maximum number that is both a factor of 40 and 32. This number is 8.
Thus, 8 teams can be formed.
number of girls in each team = [tex]\frac{40}{8}[/tex]
= 5 girls
number of boys in each team = [tex]\frac{32}{8}[/tex]
= 4 boys
Therefore, 8 teams consisting of 5 girls and 4 boys each can be formed.
