Answer 1

The greatest number of baskets Chloe can make is 42 basket

Step-by-step explanation:

Chloe is making gift baskets with soaps and lotions

• She has 127 soups
• She has 85 bottles of lotion
• She will put two bottles of lotion and three soups in each gift basket

We need to know the greatest number of baskets Chloe can make

∵ There are 127 soups

∵ She will put 3 soups in each basket

∵ 127 ÷ 3 = $42\frac{1}{3}$

∴ She can make 42 basket of three soups

∵ There are 85 bottles of lotion

∵ She will put 2 bottles of lotion in each basket

∵ 85 ÷ 2 = $42\frac{1}{2}$

∴ She can make 42 basket of two bottles of lotion

∴ The greatest number of baskets of two bottles of lotion and three

   soups is 42

The greatest number of baskets Chloe can make is 42 basket
