Answer:

At least 3 bags will be required to pack the fruit in equal amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of apples she buys =15

Number of oranges she buys = 18

Number of mangoes she buys = 21

we need to find the least possible number of bags used.

Solution:

To find the least possible number of bags required we will find the prime common factor.

Multiples of 15 = 3\times 5

Multiples of 18 = 3\times 3\times 2

Multiples of 21 = 3\times 7

so we can say that;

Highest common prime factor in all three numbers is 3.

Hence At least 3 bags will be required to pack the fruit in equal amount.
