Answer:

16 baskets, 3 red peppers, 1 yellow pepper.

Explanation:

For this questions, it is necessary to refer to the Greatest Common Factor or GCF, which refers to the largest positive integer that divides all numbers with no remainder. Since 16 is a divisor of 48, it means that there would be 16 baskets. So, it is necessary to divide 48/13=3 and 16/160=1.

Due to this the answer is stated above.
