You are buying fruit to make fruit baskets apples come in bags of 20. Ornages come in bags of 16. And bananas come in bags of 32. You have one bag of each fruit each fruit basket must be identical. A) what is the greates t number of fruit baskets that you can make using all fruit ?

Answer 1

160 basket of each fruit baskets we can make using all fruit.

Explanation:

Given:

Oranges comes in bags = 16

Apples comes in bags = 20

bananas come in bags = 32

We need to find the greatest number of fruit baskets that you can make using all fruit.

Also Given:

You have one bag of each fruit basket must be identical.

So we will first find the least common multiple of all the numbers we get;

20 = 20,40,60,80,100,120,140,160

16 = 16,32,48,64,80,96,112,128,144,160

32 = 32,64,96,128,160

The least common multiple is 160.

Hence we can say that, 160 basket of each fruit baskets we can make using all fruit.
