The rabbit needs to divide both the carrots and the leaves of lettuce evenly among his children. In order to do this without any leftovers, he must have a number of children that is a common factor of both 90 and 72.
The common factors of 90 and 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.
Therefore, the rabbit must have 3 baby bunnies in order to divide the vegetables evenly among them.
