Answer 1

Hey!

---------------------------------------------

Solution:

Find the Highest Common Factor of 8, 12, and 20.

Highest Common Factor = 4

Divide.

8 / 4 = 2

12 / 4 = 3

20 / 4 = 5

4 symbolizes the amount of baskets there are.

---------------------------------------------

Answer:

2 banana's per basket.

3 apple's per basket.

5 orange's per basket.

---------------------------------------------

There is no possible way that there can be the same amount of fruit in each basket.
