Answer 2

Answer:

5 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, it’s given that

Number of chocolates of 1st brand in a pack = 24

Number of chocolates of 2nd brand in a pack = 15.

So, the least number of both brands of chocolates need to be purchased is given by their LCM.

L.C.M. of 24 and 15 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 120

Hence, the number of packets of 1st brand to be bought = 120 / 24 = 5

And, the number of packets of 2nd brand to be bought = 120 / 15 = 8
