You are creating identical picnic baskets using 30 sandwhiches and 42 cookies. what is the greatest number of baskets that you can fill using all of the food?

Here, you want to find the GCF, or the greatest common factor.

Simplest way to do this is by listing out all the factors.

30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
42: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

So the greatest number that they share is 6.

So there would be 6 picnic baskets. (With 5 sandwiches and 7 cookies in each)

What’s the equation you are trying to solve to get x?

The answers are 20,30,80,180,960,890,1230,4560. on the first row
