3 items

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

First of all we will find the HCF of 50,30 and 100

HCF (50,30,100) = 10

That means each box will have 10 boxes of the same food items.

So that means we can put 50 cans of vegetables which can be put into 5 boxes with the 10 numbers each.

30 loaves of bread can be distributed among 3 boxes with 10 numbers each and 100 bottles of water can be put into 10 boxes with 10 numbers each.

So the final answer is that each box will have 10 number of food items and all the boxes will have the same type of foods.
