Question

during a sale colour pencils were 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 you need to buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of packs colour ppencils are 4 and crayons are 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Factors of 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

All you need to do is to make the factors of both 24 and 32 same.

Factors of 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 2 × 2

Factors of 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Now, they are same. We should multiply the extras in each number to get the number of packs of colour pencils and number of packs of crayons,

Number of packs of colour pencils = 2×2 = 4

Number of packs of crayons = 3

Hope this helps you!!!
