A local charity is making fruit baskets for elderly citizens in the

To determine whether the charity can make the specified number of baskets, we can analyze how many pieces of fruit are needed for each basket and compare that to the total pieces of fruit they have (1,620 pieces).

Each basket requires 15 pieces of fruit.

1. For at least 10 baskets:

   • Required fruit for 10 baskets = 10 * 15 = 150 pieces of fruit.
   • Since 1,620 > 150, they can make at least 10 baskets. Yes

2. For at least 100 baskets:

   • Required fruit for 100 baskets = 100 * 15 = 1,500 pieces of fruit.
   • Since 1,620 > 1,500, they can make at least 100 baskets. Yes

3. For at least 1,000 baskets:

   • Required fruit for 1,000 baskets = 1,000 * 15 = 15,000 pieces of fruit.
   • Since 1,620 < 15,000, they cannot make at least 1,000 baskets. No

To summarize:

• They can make at least 10 baskets. Yes
• They can make at least 100 baskets. Yes
• They can make at least 1,000 baskets. No
