Aflorist has 54 pears and 84 apples what is the greatest number of identical fruit baskets that can be made without any fruit lefover

9 Pears

14 Apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor each number into prime factors.

Pears: 54: = 3*3  * 3*2

Apples: 84: = 2 *2 * 3 * 7

The answer to your question is the highest common factor

The highest common factor is 3 * 2 = 6

That means that the number of Pears and Apples needed would be whatever is left over when the Highest common factor is divided into the original number.

Pears

Original number = 54

HCF                      = 6

Number of pears in each basket = 54/6 = 9

Apples

Original Number = 84

HCF                     =   6

Number of Apples in each Basket= 84/6 = 14

Each basket would contain 9 pears and 14 apples

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
