Answer: 30 baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

240 (apples) = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

150 (pears) = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5

GCF (240, 150) = 2 x 3 x 5

                         = 30

You can make 30 baskets containing 240/30 = 8 apples and 150/30 = 5 pears.
