Ana has 24 carrots, 12 cucumbers, and 36 radishes. She wants to make identical vegetable baskets using all of the vegetables. What is the greatest number of baskets she can make

The key to solving this problem is asking what is the common factor between the 3 numbers. We want the greatest common factor or GCF
GCF(12, 24, 36) = 12

We divide up our 12 baskets into carrots, cucumbers, and radishes. Each basket of the 12 baskets has the following:

1. 12 cucumbers / GCF of 12 = 1 cucumber per basket
2. 24 carrots / GCF of 12 = 2 carrots per basket
3. 36 radishes / GCF of 12 = 3 radishes per basket
