Answer:

He needs to buy: 5 packages of hot dogs buns and 4 packages of hot dogs. He needs to buy forty of each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Need to calculate the least common denominator of the packages of hot dogs buns and the packages of hot dogs.

10 8 2

5 4 2

5 2 2

5 1 5

5

LCD = 2x2x2x5 = 40

To know the number of packages divide the LCD by the initial quantities

# packages of hot dogs buns = 40/8 = 5

# packages of hot dogs = 40/10 = 4
