Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she has 84 candles and 48 holders, we can write out the factors of both values as shown

For candles

84 = 2×2×3×7

84 = 12×7

For 48

48 = 2×2×2×2×3

48 = (2×2)×(2×2×3)

48 = 4×12

48 = 12×4

From both factors, we can are that 12 common to both of them. This means that the maximum number of gift boxes Ariana can pack is 12

The other factors will give the amount of scented candles and candle holders that each box will have. This means that each box will have 7scented candles and 4 holders.
