Question

during a sale,colour pencils were being sold in packs of 24 each and crayons in packs of 32 each.if you want full packs of both and the same number of pencils and crayons,how many minimum no; of each would you need to buy?

Answer 1

Given: Color pencils/packet= 24
Crayons/packet= 32

To solve this, we need to find the LCM.
LCM of 24 and 32= 96.

So you wold need to buy atleast (96/24)=4 packets of color pencils and (96/32)=3 packets of crayons.

Hope this helps!
