There are 84 toys and 56 books.
If each basket will receive the same number of toys and books, then how many baskets can be made?
:
Find the greatest common factor of 84 and 56, that would be 28
28 divides into 84 3 times
28 divides into 56 2 times
therefore 28 baskets can be made using all the toys and books
Each basket contains 3 toys and 2 books
