Question

William has 24 24 cans of fruit and 60 60 cans of vegetables that he will be putting into bags for a food drive. He wants each bag to have the same number of cans of each type of food. He uses all the cans.how much of each of this bigs will have and how much cans of fruitwill they have and how much cans of vegetables will they have

Answer 1

Answer:

William will make 12 bags of food and each of the bag will contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of fruits cans = 24

Number of veggies cans = 60

William will have to distribute them in equal bags with equal cans of fruits and vegetables respectively.

For this:

We have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 24 and 60.

GCF by listing out the factors method.

Factors of 24  : $1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24$

Factors of 60 : $1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60$

So,

The greatest common factor of $24$ and $60$ is $12$.

The number of bags William will used for equal distribution = $12$

Now,

We have to distribute the veggies and fruits in equal number of cans to these $12$bags.

Number of fruits cans used in each bag = $\frac{24}{12} = 2$

Number of vegetables can used in each bag = $\frac{60}{12} =5$

We can say that:

William will make 12 bags of food and each of the bag will contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.
