Question

Burger patties come packed 8 in a package, and burger buns come packed 12 in a package. We want to buy the least number of patties and buns possible, while still making sure that we have exactly one patty for each bun (no leftovers). How many packages of buns do we need to buy?

Answer 1

Answer: but will soon find out

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

To find the answer you need to find the least common multiple of each number.

8, 16, 24
12, 24

They both have 24 in common and it’s the lowest multiple of both numbers. So in turn to have the same number of them you would need to get 3 packs of burger patties and two packs of burgers.

Hope this helps!! Have a great day ^w^
