Answer 2

The greatest number of identical fruit baskets that can be made without any fruit leftover is:

6

Explanation:

It is given that:

A florist has 54 pears and 84 apples.

Now, we have to find the greatest number of identical fruit baskets that can be made is equal to greatest common divisor (i.e. G.C.D. ) of the number of apples and number of pears that a florist has.

G.C.D(54,84)=6

Hence, the answer is: 6
