Tim can make 13 packages because 39 is a multiple of 13.  The thirteen packages will consist of 1 music player and 3 pairs of headphones each.

Answer: There are 13 packages that Tim can make with its greatest number.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pairs of headphones Tim has = 39

Number of music players = 13

We need to find the greatest number of packages that Tim can make ,

For this we will find "H.C.F. of 13 and 39 " which is equal to 13.

So, there are 13 packages that Tim can make with its greatest number. and in each package , there will be 3 pair of headphones and 1 pair of music player.
