Step-by-step explanation:
Plates = 8 per pack
Cups = 12 per pack
Find the Lowest common multiple of 8 and 12
8 = 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80
12 = 24, 36, 48, 60, 72
What is the least number of plates and cups she can buy?
The Lowest common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24
The least number of plates and cups she can buy is 24
How many packs of plates?
Packs of plates = 24 plates / 8 per pack
