Answer 1

u have to just find the HCF Of 40,24,16
so it is 8
hence she can make 8 such hampers

Answer 2

Hey!

Taking the hcf of three numbers will help us to acquire the answer.

40-2×2×2×5.
24-2×2×2×3.
16- 2×2×2×2.
HCF= 2×2×2=8.

That means the maximum number of hamper she can make is 8. Every hamper contains 5 cakes,3chocolates and 2 juice packs.

Hope it helps.
