Answer:

28 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of toys = 84

Total number of books = 56

To find the number of baskets than can be made by putting same number of toys and books in each basket.

Solution:

In order to find the number of baskets that can made by dividing 84 toys and 56 books equally in each basket, we will find the greatest common factor of the two numbers.

The factors of the numbers can be given as:

$84=2\times 2\times 3\times 7$

$56=2\times 2\times 2\times 7$

Thus, G.C.F.= $2\times 2\times 7=28$

Thus, a total 28 baskets can be made, each basket having 3 toys and 2 books.
