Answer:

36

Explanation:

If I understood your question right, it means that Reina wants to put equal amounts of fruits into the bag. Also it suggests that the volume of the bag is not limited.

Since 36 < 40 < 48, the largest amount of each kind of fruits in the bag can be 36. Otherwise Reina wouldn't be able to put more chinos and the amount of each fruit in the bag wouldn't be equal.

Assuming that the smallest amount of fruits in the bag is one (the bag is not empty), there are 36 possible numbers (from 1 to 36) of each fruit.
