Answer 1

Answer:

160 basket of each fruit baskets we can make using all fruit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Oranges comes in bags = 16

Apples comes in bags = 20

bananas come in bags = 32

We need to find the greatest number of fruit baskets that you can make using all fruit.

Also Given:

You have one bag of each fruit basket must be identical.

So we will first find the least common multiple of all the numbers we get;

20 = 20,40,60,80,100,120,140,160

16 = 16,32,48,64,80,96,112,128,144,160

32 = 32,64,96,128,160

The least common multiple is 160.

Hence we can say that, 160 basket of each fruit baskets we can make using all fruit.
