Question

Can someone please help me with question 9

Answer 1

There are 24 oranges and 36 apples.

Each basket has to have the same number of fruit

So lets say that each basket will have exactly one orange and apple.

To get the maximum number of baskets, we have to use either all of the apples or all of the oranges.

You can't have 36 baskets, because you only have 24 oranges, even though there are enough apples.

But you can 24 baskets, because there are enough apples and oranges.

So you can use all of the oranges to make 24 baskets  (and you'll be left with 12 apples)

Answer: F. 24.
