Question

A holiday toy drive is putting together baskets for children. There are 84 toys and 56 books. If each basket will receive the same number of toys and books so that no toys or books are left over, then what is the greatest number of baskets that could be made?

Answers

  1. Based on the above, the greatest number of baskets that could be made is 28 baskets.

    What is the basket case about?

    Note that from the question, we were given:
    • Total number of toys = 84
    • Total number of books = 56
    For one to be able to obtain the number of baskets than can be created by putting the same number of toys and books in each basket, we need to  find the lowest common dividend and such it will be:
    56/84=2/3
    56/28=2
    84/28=3
    Therefore,  each basket will have 2 toys and 3 books and it will make up about  28 baskets.
