Manny makes dinner using 1 box of pasta and 1 jar of sauce. If pasta is sold in packages of 6 boxes and sauce is sold in packages of 3 jars, what is the least number of dinners that Manny can make without any supplies leftover?

3 because if you have 1 box of pasta and 1 jar of sauce it will make 1 dinner. Well if you have 6 boxes of pasta and 3 jars of sauce you will be leftover with 3 boxes of pasta beause you have no sauce to make the dinner
Hope it helps
