Question

The question is in the picture.

Answer 1

The lowest number of packages of plates Shaniya could buy is 3, because it's the least common multiple of 8 and 6.

8 plates per package,
8 x 3 = 24.
6 Cups per package,
6 x 4 = 24 as well.
So if she bought 3 packages of plates, she could buy 4 packages of cups and have the same amount of each.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

I believe it is 3 because the lowest common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24. 24/8=3
