Wellness Sale Donations Celery 63 Cucumbers 14 Carrots 35 The greatest number of items that each plate could have is nothing items. ​(Type a whole​ number.)

Answer 1

The greatest number of items on each plate is 7

Explanation:

Given

`Celery = 63`

`Cucumber = 14`

`Carrot = 35`

Required

Determine the greatest number of items on each plate

To do this, we simply calculate the GCF of 63, 14 and 35

`63 =3 * 3 * 7`

`14 = 2 * 7`

`35 = 5* 7`

The GCF is:

`GCF = 7`

Hence:

The greatest number of items on each plate is 7
