Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest number of trays the caterer can split the 72 ham sandwiches  and 48 pimento cheese sandwiches into can be determined by calculating the highest common factor and 48 and 72

Factors of 48 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48.

Factors of 72= 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 72.

the highest common factor is 48 ad 72 is 24
