Question

Rita is going to make some cheeseburgers for a party.

Answer 1

She buys 3 buckets of cheese slices and 5 boxes of burgers

Step-by-step explanation:

A multiple of a number is that number multiplied by an integer

Examples:

• The multiples of 5 are 5 , 10 , 15 , 20 , 25 , .......... , multiply 5 by any integer to find a multiple of 5
• The 1st common multiple of 2 and 5 is 10, because the multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ....... and the multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, .......

∵ Rita is going to make some cheeseburgers for a party

∵ She buys some packets of cheese slices and some boxes

   of burgers

∵ There are 20 cheese slices in each packet

∵ There are 12 burgers in each box

∵ Rita buys exactly the same number of cheese slices and burgers

- That means we must find the 1st common multiple of 20 and 12

∵ The multiples of 20 are 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, ............

∵ The multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, ..........

∴ The common multiple of 20 and 12 is 60

That means she buys 60 cheese slices and 60 burgers

∵ There are 20 cheese slices in each packet

- To find the number of buckets divide 60 by 20

∴ The number packets = 60 ÷ 20 = 3

∴ She buys 3 buckets of cheese slices

∵ There are 12 burgers in each box

- To find the number of boxes divide 60 by 12

∴ The number of boxes = 60 ÷ 12 = 5

∴ She buys 5 boxes of burgers

She buys 3 buckets of cheese slices and 5 boxes of burgers
