Question

Camilla is creating gift baskets with scented soaps and bottles of bubble bath. She has 20 scented soaps and 15 bottles of bubble bath. If she wants all the gift baskets identical without any items left over, what is the greatest number of gift baskets Camilla can make?

Answer 1

5 gift baskets

Explanation:

We solve this question using the method of Greatest Common Factor

We are told in the question that She has 20 scented soaps and 15 bottles of bubble bath

Hence, we find the factors of 15 and 20

The factors of 15 are: 1, 3, 5, 15

The factors of 20 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

Then the greatest common factor is 5.

Hence, the greatest number of gift baskets Camilla can make is 5 gift baskets
