Answer:
6 packages of forks
Step-by-step explanation:
If Jasmine wants to have an equal quantity of forks and spoons, we need to list the multiples of each quantity and determine the least common multiple (LCM).
Forks: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90
Spoons: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96
The LCM in this example is 60. In order to have exactly 60 forks and 60 spoons, Jasmine will need to buy 6 packages of forks [60 ÷ 10 = 6] and 5 packages of spoons [60 ÷ 12 = 5].
