The smallest number you can purchase is 60 small cups and paper plates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cups in each pack = 10

Number of plates in each pack = 12

We will find the least common multiple of 10 and 12.

10 = 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,....

12 = 12,24,36,48,60,72,84,.....

The least common multiple of 10 and 12 is 60.

Therefore,

The smallest number you can purchase is 60 small cups and paper plates.
