Answer 1

Answer: There are 5 biscuit packets and 4 pastries in each packet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pastries = 15

Number of biscuit = 12

According to question, these are to be pack in several smaller identical boxes with the same number of play pastries and biscuits in each.

So, we will use "L.C.M. of 15 and 12" which is equal to "60".

So, Number of biscuit packets is given by

$\frac{60}{12}=5$

Number of pastries in each packet is given by

$\frac{60}{15}=4$

Hence, there are 5 biscuit packets and 4 pastries in each packet.
