Final answer:

To determine which baskets have all three bows, find the common multiples of 3, 6, and 8, and identify the baskets that fall into these categories.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which baskets have all three bows, we need to find the common multiples of 3, 6, and 8. The common multiples are 24, 48, 72, and so on. So, the baskets that have all three bows are the ones that fall into these categories.

For example, if we go up to 50 baskets, the baskets numbered 24, 48, and 72 will have all three bows.
