Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:Two brands of chocolates are available in packs of 24 and 15 respectively,if l need to buy an equal number of chocolates of both kinds,what is the least number of boxes of each kind l would need to buy?

REQUIRED SOLUTION

Given, two brands of chocolates are available in pack of 24 and 15 respectively.

We need to buy an equal number of chocolates of both kinds.

For this we find the LCM of 24 and 15

Now, 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3and

15 = 3 * 5

LCM(24, 15) = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120

Now, the number of boxes of pack of 24 = 120/24 = 5
