Answer 2

Answer:

The number of cartons required is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of cartons required, find the Highest common factor of 144 and 90,  

The multiples of 144 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3  

The multiples of 90 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 2

To find the HCF of 144 and 90 = common multiples of 90 and 144 = 3 * 3 * 2 = 18.

Number of cartons required becomes = 18.
