Question

There are 60 kiwi, 84 bananas, and 108 grapefruit. Joedad wants to make fruit baskets that contain the same number of each type of fruit. O a. What is the largest number of baskets he can make? I b. How many of each fruit will there be per basket?

Answer 1

Given

60 kiwis

84 bananas

108 grapefruit

HCF (highest common factor) of 60 84 108

HCF = 12

60 ÷ 12 = 5

84 ÷ 12 = 7

108 ÷ 12 = 9

5 * 7 * 9

5 * 7 = 30

30 * 9 = 270

270 is the largest amount of baskets Joedad can make.
