- Good morning coach! I heard the school purchased new equipment for the gym for our baseball team?
- Yes, they bought boxes of equipment each containing 35 baseballs and packages containing 25 pairs of baseball gloves each.
- Wow! That's really amazing coach! Wait, how many boxes of 35 baseballs and packages of 25 pairs of baseball gloves are we talking here coach?
- Mmmm, let's see if you can solve it. You have to know that in total, there are equal number of baseballs as that of the number of pairs of gloves.
- Wow! That's exciting coach. I'm sure it will also inspire my teammates. We will give our best to win the next game.
- Okay. First, I need to get the lease common multiple of both 35 and 25. And that is 5 x 5 x 7 which is equal to 175. Right coach?
- That's right. Now, to get the number of boxes and the number of packages, you have to divide 175 by 35 and divide 175 by 25.
- Woah! That's a lot of equation coach but that's easy. 175 divided by 35 is equal to 5 and 175 divided by 25 is equal to 7.
- Great job kid! You're really good with numbers.
- Thanks coach. So, there are 5 boxes of 35 baseballs and 7 packages of 25 pairs of baseball gloves? That's a really good news coach. I want to check them out later.
- No problem. Maybe we can also use those new equipment for our next game.
- Now that's even more exciting. So what are we waiting for? Let's start with our practice.
