Answer 1

Brittany's mom should get two packages of hot dogs and three packages of buns to get the equal number of hot dogs to buns. In order to determine this, I multiplied 24 by 2 and got 48. I multiplied 16 by 3 and also got 48. The least asmount of packages she should buy are two packages of hot dogs and three packages of buns so she has an equal amount of both.
