Problem
Mia has \(18~\text{apples}\) and \(12~\text{oranges}\) and puts \(3~\text{pieces}~\text{of}~\text{fruit}\) in each bag for a Friday event using blue baskets. Identify the information required to calculate how many bags she can make.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Work backward from the number of bags: total available fruit must be divided by pieces placed in each bag. We’ll keep both apple and orange counts because together they form the supply, and retain the three-piece group size. Friday and blue baskets add context but do not change either quantity needed for the calculation.
