Question

Farmer Jonson is putting together vegetable baskets. He has 270 carrots and 180 beets. What is the largest number of baskets he can put together so that he can have the same number of carrots in each basket and the same number of beets in each basket?

Answer 1

90 baskets

Explanation:

To get the answer to this problem you have to find the GCF of 270 and 180

270= 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5

180= 2 x 3 x 3 x 5

So, the GCF equals to 2 x 3 x 3 x 5

2 x 3 x 3 x 5= 90
