Question

4. Megha has 15 oranges, 9 peaches and 18 pears. She wants
to put all of the fruits into baskets with each basket
having the same number of pieces of fruit in it. Without
mixing the fruit, what is the greatest number of pieces of
fruit can put in each basket?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 oranges, 9 peaches, and 18 pears

find the greatest common factor of 15, 9, and 18

15=3*5

9=3*3

18=2*3*3

GCF=3

there will be 3 baskets

each basket contains 5 oranges, 3 peaches, and 6 pears for a total of 14 pieces of fruit (15/3=5, 9/3=3, and 18/3=6)
