he makes 24 bags because that how muchh fruit cans there are and if you divide 60 cans into 24 there will be 3 cans of vegetables in each bag

Answer:

William will make 12 bags of food

each of which contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this kind of the problem we calculate the greatest common divisor(gcd) of the two terms.

Here, we have to find gcd of 24 and 60

24=12×2

60=12×5

Hence, gcd of 24 and 60 is 12

i.e. William will make 12 bags of food

each of which contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.
