Nina is correct. The greatest number of baskets they can make is 9. This can be determined by dividing the total number of each fruit by the number of baskets they want to make. 36 divided by 9 is 4, 27 divided by 9 is 3, and 18 divided by 9 is 2. Therefore, each basket can contain 4 apples, 3 bananas, and 2 oranges.
Maylin made an error by not dividing the total number of each fruit by the number of baskets they wanted to make.
