Question

If Hana is puting the fruit she bought into bowls.she bought 8 melons,12 pears,and 24 apples. She puts the same number of peices of fruit in each bowl and puts only one type of fruit in each bowl how many peices can hana put in each bowl?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 2 melons, 3 pears and 6 apples in each bowl.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of melons = 8

Number of pears = 12

Number of apples = 24

We need to find the number of pieces that Hana can put in each bowl.

For greatest number of pieces = H.C.F. of  8, 12, 24 =4

So, Number of pieces of melons = $\dfrac{8}{4}=2$

So, Number of pieces of pears = $\dfrac{12}{4}=3$

So, Number of pieces of apples = $\dfrac{24}{4}=6$

Hence, there are 2 melons, 3 pears and 6 apples in each bowl.
