You are making fruit baskets using 54 apples 36 oranges and 73 bananas explain why you can't make identical fruit baskets without leftover fruit

It is not possible to make identical fruit baskets without leftover fruit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : You are making fruit baskets using 54 apples 36 oranges and 73 bananas.

To find : Explain why you can't make identical fruit baskets without leftover fruit ?

Solution :

To make identical fruit basket without leftover fruit we need to distribute fruits equally.

So, We have to find the greatest common factor of the numbers

GCF of 54, 36 and 73 is 1.

GCF of 54 and 36 is 18.

If we divide 54 apples into 18 baskets, we have 3 apples in each basket

If we divide 36 oranges into 18 baskets, we have 2 oranges in each basket

If we divide 73 bananas into 18 baskets, we have 4 bananas in each basket + one banana left over.

Therefore, It is not possible to make identical fruit baskets without leftover fruit.

the answer to your question is b.
