Answer:
3 packets of sausages and 4 packets of rolls has to be brought.
Step-by-step explanation:
No of sausages in each packet=12.
No of rolls in each packet=9.
For getting equal no of both items we need to find the LCM of the numbers.
Factors of 9 =3×3
Factors =3×4.
LCM of 9 and 12 is =36
Therefore 36 numbers of both sausages and rolls has to be brought.
Thus 3 packets of sausages and 4 packets of rolls has to be brought.
