Step-by-step explanation:
15 pastries and 12 biscuit packets
to find the identical boxes with the same number of pastries and biscuit packets in each
we need to find HCF of 15 & 12
15 = 3 * 5
12 = 2 * 2 * 3
only common factor = 3
HCF = 3
Hence 3 identical boxes
number of Biscuits in each packet = 12/3 = 4
number of Pastries in each packet = 15/3 = 5
