Answer:
2 packets of candles along with 3 packets of candle stand
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we need equal number of candles & candle stands.
Let us find the LCM.
On calculating, we will get LCM = 24
Now as one packet of candles has 12 candles
So, to find the number of packets, we will divide 24 by 12.
= 24÷12
No. of packets of candles = 2
Similiarly, no. of packets for candle stands = 24÷8
= 3 packets
