6 packet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mrs. White's students are making school spirit packs.

They have 24 bumper stickers and 18 window clings.

Every pack must have the same contents and there should be no leftover items.

Question asked:

What is the greatest number of packs they can make?

Solution:

To find the greatest number of packs could be made by 24 bumper stickers and 18 window clings by using same contents in each pack with no left over items, we will simply use Highest Common Factor.

Factor of 24 - 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Factor of 18 - 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Highest Common Factor is 6.

Thus, they can make 6 packet at most.
