Given that,

Egbert is making a trail mix out of 18 bags of nuts and 9 bags of dried fruit.

He wants each new portion of trail mix to be identical,

Containing the same combination of bags of nuts and bags of dried fruit, with no bags leftover.

We have to determine,

What is the greatest number of portions of trail mix Egbert can make? ​

According to the question,

Egbert is making a trail mix out of 18 bags of nuts and 9 bags of dried fruit.

Then,

HCF of (18, 9) = 9

Egbert can make 9 trail mix out.

And the number of bags of nuts in 1 trail mix is,

$=\dfrac{18}{9}\\\\= 2$

Number of a bag of dried fruits in 1 trail mix,

$=\dfrac{9}{9}\\\\= 1$

Hence, The greatest number of portions of trail mix Egbert can make is 18.
