Asked by help me please
I have five apples and ten oranges. If a fruit basket must contain at least one piece of fruit, how many kinds of fruit baskets can I make? (The apples are identical and the oranges are identical. A fruit basket consists of some number of pieces of fruit, and it doesn't matter how the fruit are arranged in the basket.)

It looks like you can make 5 fruit baskets since you only have 5 apples.

I assumed that each basket must have at least one piece of each kind of fruit. But if that is not a criteria, then you could have 15 baskets with only one piece of fruit in each.
