    Answer:

    (a) 60 cups

    (b) 5 cookies, 8 muffins and 4 cupcakes in each container

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Let:

    C \to Cookies; M \to Muffins; K \to Cupcakes

    So:

    C : M : K = 300 : 480 : 240

    Solving (a): The greatest number of containers to be used;

    To do this, we first reduce the ratio to the lowest

    C : M : K = 300 : 480 : 240

    Divide by 60

    C : M : K = 5 : 8 : 4

    The ratio cannot be further reduced. Hence, he will use 60 cups

    Solving (b): The number in each cup

    In (a), we have:

    C : M : K = 5 : 8 : 4

    This means that;

    C = 5 — Cookies

    M = 8 — Muffins

    K = 4 — – Cupcakes
