Question

Jane is making fruit baskets. She has 48 bananas and 72 apples. What is the greatest number of baskets that Jane can make if each contains an equal number of apples and bananas?

Answer 1

12

I think its 12 because that's the biggest number you can divide both 48 and 72 by and not have any left over or not have enough to divide again. I recommend to check and make sure though.

Answer 2

24

Explanation:

24 is the greatest common factor of 48 and 72.
