Question

Hot dogs are sold in packages of 8, and hot dog buns are sold in packages of 12. What is the smallest number of each that could be purchased so that the customer has the same number of hot dogs and buns? And i'm doing a lesson in school, so i need help with this and what is the answer to it in LCM?

Answer 1

The lowest common denominator for 8 and 12 is 24. So you would need 3 packages of hotdogs and 2 packages of buns.
