What is the least number of packages of hot dog and hot dog rolls Mrs. Richards can buy to have exactly the same amount of hot dogs and rolls?
Mrs. Richards discovers that 30 relatives are coming to the picnic and every one wants to eat 2 hot dogs! What is the least number of packages of hot dogs and hot dog rolls that Mrs. Richards will have to buy to feed all her relatives?


ANSWER

The Least Common Multiple of 8 and 10 is 40.
4 packages of hot dogs x 10 = 40 hot dogs
5 packages of rolls x 8 = 40 rolls
6 packages of hot dogs x 10 = 60 hot dogs
8 packages of rolls x 8 = 64 rolls
