Answer: There should be 3 pencils and 5 erasers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of packages of pencil = 10

Number of packages of erasers = 6

We need to find the least number of pencil and erasers.

L.C.M of 10 and 6 = 30

So, the number of pencils would be

30÷ 10 = 3

The number of erasers would be

30 ÷ 6 = 5

Hence, there should be 3 pencils and 5 erasers.
