Answer 1

Answer:

You need to buy 4 pencils packet and 3 erasers packet

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the LCM of 24 and 36

24 - 24  48 72  96  120  144  168  192  216  240

32 - 32  64  96  128  160  192  224  256  288  320

LCM of 24 and 36 is 96

96 / 24 = 4

96/ 32 = 3

Therefore we need to buy 4 packets of pencils and 3 packets of erasers to buy the same number of packets
