Answer 1

To determine how many baskets can be made with 1,620 pieces of fruit, we can consider the following:

- Each basket requires 15 pieces of fruit.
- To find the number of baskets they can make, we would typically divide the total number of pieces of fruit by the number of pieces per basket.

Now let's evaluate each statement:

1. **They can make at least 10 baskets.**
Yes.
(1,620 pieces ÷ 15 pieces per basket = 108 baskets)

2. **They can make at least 100 baskets.**
Yes.
(1,620 pieces ÷ 15 pieces per basket = 108 baskets)

3. **They can make at least 1,000 baskets.**
No.
(1,620 pieces ÷ 15 pieces per basket = 108 baskets)

So the answers are:

- At least 10 baskets: **Yes**
- At least 100 baskets: **Yes**
- At least 1,000 baskets: **No**
