Answer:

  • 15 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Find GCF of 45 and 60:

  • 45 = 3*3*5
  • 60 = 2*2*3*5

GCF(45,60) = 3*5 = 15
  • Soccer balls=45
  • Tennis balls=60

Find Greatest common multiple or GCF

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 45=3\times 3\times 5[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 60=2\times 2\times 3\times 5[/tex]

Now

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto GCF=3\times 5=15[/tex]
