Answer:
The least number of dinners that manny can make without any supplies leftover is 6 dinners
Step-by-step explanation:
Dinner = 1 box of pasta + 1jar of sauce
pasta is sold in package of 6 boxes
sauce is sold in in packages of 3
jars
what is the least number of dinners that manny can make without any supplies leftover?
Find the lowest common multiple of 6 boxes and 3 jars
6 boxes = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42,48
3 jars = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30
The lowest common multiple of 6 boxes and 3 jars = 6
The least number of dinners that manny can make without any supplies leftover is 6 dinners
Using:
Pasta = 6 dinners / 6 boxes
= 1 package
Pasta = 1 package
Sauce = 6 dinners / 3 jars
= 2 package
Sauce = 2 package
