Answer:

Find the biggest # that can divide all 3 #'s, and that's your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

24 is divisible by:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

36 is divisible by:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6,  9, 12, 18, 36

48 is divisible by:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

The biggest # that can divide all 3 #'s is 12, so the greatest amount of baskets that can be made is 12 baskets.
