Wanda has 8 bananas, 20 oranges, and 12 apples. She wants to put an equal amount of each type of fruit into baskets. What is the greatest number of pieces of fruit Wanda can put in each basket?

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.
