Tia Cervantes · Answer 1

The greatest number of gift basket the baker can make is 8. Since there are 80 rolls and 64 muffins and he wants each gift basket to have the same amount of rolls and muffins and use all the rolls and muffins, there would be 10 rolls and 8 muffins in each gift basket.

Daffodil · Answer 2

16 baskets is the greatest number of baskets that could be made while using all the rolls and muffins. 80/64 reduces to 5/4

So if the baker puts 5 rolls and 4 muffins in each basket he would be able to make 16 baskets and use all the baked goods.

80/5=16

64/4=16
