Answer 2

Answer:

2 balloon bags

4 horn bags

5 candy bags

Step-by-step explanation:

First,

You need to found the least common multiple for 20 10 and 8

20 10 8| 2

10 5 4| 2

5 5 2| 2

5 5 1| 5

1 1 1

The least common multiple is

2x2x2x5=40

Then,

Divide the least common multiple by 20,10 and 8 (the number of things in each bag).

Ballons:

40/20 = 2 balloons bags

Horns:

40/10 = 4 horns bags

Candies:

40/8 = 5 candy bags
