Question

Eve is making 50 gift baskets for the holidays. She wraps a red bow on every three baskets, a blue bow on every six baskets, and a gold bow on every eight baskets. Which baskets have all three bows?

Answer 1

baskets 24 and 48

multiply 8 by 3 = 24, then if you divide 24 by 8, 6, and 3, you get all whole numbers which shows how many rows of it's number it had to move to get the number 24. i then just multiplied 24 by 2 which is 48. the number cannot go over 50 so it just stops at those 2 baskets.
