Question

Susan is buying supplies for a party. If spoons only come in bags of 8 and forks only come in bags of 6, what is the least number of spoons and the least number of forks she can buy so that she has the same number of each? asap and tell my how you got the answer please

Answer 1

Answer:

3 bags of spoon and 4 bags of fork.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Susan will buy 3 bags of spoon then, the total spoon is 3 × 8 = 24 spoons

and, If he will buy 4 bags of fork then, the total fork is 4 × 6 = 24 forks.

Thus, for getting equal numbers of spoon and fork he has to buy a minimum of 3 bags of spoon and 4 bags of fork.

Answer 2

It would be 4 packs of spoons and 3 packs of forks. This is because if you multiply 6 times 4 you get 24 and 8 times 3 you will get 24 and then that would be even. If this needs to be further explained please ask me
