Question

Derek shopping for hot dogs and buns. He is surprised to find that the hot dogs come in

Answer 1

Answer:

Derek would have to buy 3 packs of 8 hotdogs and 2  packs of 12 hotdog buns.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 8 times 3 is 24 and 12 times 2 is 24.

8 and 12 both have a common multiple, which is 24.

So if he buys 3 packs of hotdogs, which come in packs of 8, he'll get 24.

And if he buys 2 packs of buns, which come in packs of 12, he'll get 24.

Answer 2

Answer:

3 packs of hotdogs and 2 packs of buns

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $h =$ number of hotdogs, and $b =$ number of buns

8$h$ = 12$b$

LCM of 8 and 12 is 24

8$h$ = 24

$h$ = 3

12$b$ = 24

$b$ = 2

$\therefore$ Derek needs to buy 3 packs of hotdogs and 2 packs of buns to have the same number of each.

Hope this helps :)
