Question

2. Pam is making fruit baskets. She has 30 apples and 24 bananas.

What is the greatest number of baskets she can make if each type
of fruit is distributed equally among the baskets?​

Answer 1

Six

Explanation:

`\frac{\text{apples}}{\text{bananas}} =(30)/(24)`

Find the greatest common factor of each number.

Factors of 30 = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

Factors of 24 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The greatest common factor of 30 and 24 is 6.

Jane can make six fruit baskets if she divides the fruit evenly among them.
