Well to do this, we need to know the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8. Lets list the factors out.
6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48
As we can see, the least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.
Now we know that there are 8 plates per package and 8 goes into 24 3 times, so naturally Shaniya needs 3 packages of plates
Hope this helped!!! :)
