Julieta and Hanis have 3 dozen chocolate chip muffins, 54 banana muffins and 27 blueberry muffins. They are preparing identical gift baskets for their friends with all three types of muffins. They plan on using all of the muffins in the baskets. What is the largest number of baskets they can make and still have enough muffins

Answer:

9 is the largest number of baskets they can make and still have enough muffins.

Explanation:

If they want to use all three types of muffins for the basket, they’d have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 30, 54, and 27, which is 9. They’d still have a lot left over... but if they want to put all three types of muffins then they can only make 9 full baskets.

Hope this helped :)
