Answer:

The items can be equally shared between 45 students.

Each student will get 3 pens, 5 books and 7 copies.

Explanation:

We have to find the GCF (Greatest common factor) of 135 , 225 and 315.

135 = 5 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 45 * 3

225 = 5 * 5 * 3 * 3 = 45 * 5

315 = 5 * 3 * 3 * 7 = 45 * 7

GCF = 5 * 9 = 45

The items can be equally shared between 45 students.

Each student will get 3 pens, 5 books and 7 copies.
