A fruit production company has three packaging facilities, each of which uses different-sized boxes as follows: 20 pieces/box, 28 pieces/box, and 36 pieces/box. Step 1 of 2: Assuming that the truck provides the same quantity of uniformly-sized pieces of fruit to all three packaging facilities, what is the minimum number of pieces of fruit that will be delivered so that no fruit will be left over

Answer :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1260

Step-by-step explanation:

The required number is the Least Common Multiple of the box sizes:

  LCM(20, 28, 36) = 4·5·7·9 = 1260

1260 pieces of fruit will be delivered so that none is left over.
