Question

Cups are sold by 6 per package while plates are sold by 8 per package. If you want

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the lowest common multiple

6 = 2 * 3

8 = 2 * 2 * 2

LCM = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

LCM = 24

So you just divide 6 and 8 into 24. The result will be the number of packages.

Cups: 24/6 = 4

Plates: 24/8 = 3

You need 4 packs of cups and 3 of plates

Answer 2

Answer:

C: 4 packages of cups and 3 packages of plates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well let's work out A first. $2(6)=3(8)$ can be simplified to $12=24$, but that isn't true, so A is false. B is next. $3(6)=4(8)$ can be simplified to $18=32$, but that isn't true, so B is false. Let's solve C next.  $4(6)=3(8)$ can be simplified to $24=24$, but that isn't true, so C is true! Let's work out D anyways, just to be sure the answer is C. $5(6)=3(8)$ can be simplified to $30=24$, but that isn't true, so D is false, confirming that the answer is C.

Hope this helps!
