Question

Rafael want to buy the same number of gifts bags and bows gifts bags are sold in packs of 6. Bows are sold in packs of 9. What is the least number of gifts bags and bows that Rafael can buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rafael should buy 9 gift bags and 6 bows packet so, that she can have SAME NUMBER OF ITEMS, i.e 54.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gift bags are sold in the packs of 6.

So, the number of gift bags in 1 packet  = 6 gift bags

The number of gift bags in 2  packet  = 6 x 2 gift bags  = 12  gift bags

The number of gift bags in 3  packet  = 6 x 3 gift bags  = 18  gift bags

And continuing similarly, we get

The number of gift bags in 9  packet  = 6 x 9 gift bags  = 54 gift bags.. (1)

The bows are sold in the pack of 9.

So, the number of bows in 1 packet  = 9 bows

The number of bows in 2 packet   = 9 x 2 bows  = 18 bows

The number of bows in 3 packet   = 9 x 3 bows  = 27 bows

And continuing similarly, we get

The number of bows in 6  packet  = 9 x 6 bows  = 54 bows... (2)

Here, comparing both equations (1) and (2) , we get

The number of gift bags = 54  = The number of bows.

Hence, Rafael should buy 9 gift bags and 6 packet of bows so, that she can have SAME NUMBER OF ITEMS, i.e 54.
