Question

Mack is repacking 6/8-pound bags of birdseed into 1-pound bags of birdseed. What is the least number of 6/8-pound bags of birdseed he needs in order to fill 1-pound bags without leftovers

Answer 1

we need to find the least number x such that (6/8)x is integer

since 6/7 = (2*3)/(2*4) = 3/4 the least number of 6/8 pound bags will be 4.
