Afarmer is putting apples and oranges into boxes to sell at a market. he has 64 apples and 24 oranges . what is the greatest number of boxes he can make using all of the apples and oranges if each box has identical contents?

Well you could do 8 apple and 3 oranges per box since there are 64 apples and 24 oranges. You can either use trial and error to see what what values give you an answer of 8 for each amount of fruit. Or you can find the greatest common factor which happens to be 8 in this case, and divide each by that can come to the conclusion that 8 apples go into 8 boxes and 3 oranges do into 8 boxes Over all the answer would be 8 apples and oranges per each box, to have a total number of 8 boxes.

I hope this helps!
