Question

Biscuits come in packages of 18 and bread comes in packages of 10. What is the least number of packages of each that can be bought to be able to make cake with no biscuits or bread left over?​

Answer 1

5 packs of biscuits

9 packs of bread

Explanation:

To find out how many of each one, you have to find their least common multiple:

18: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180

10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

18*5 = 90

5 packs of biscuits

10*9 = 90

9 packs of bread

Answer 2

5 packages of biscuits and 9 packages of bread.

Explanation:

18x5 = 90, and 9 x 10 = 90. If we use the least common denominator, then it would look like this:

18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.

Out of the two multiplication lines, the one common part about it would be 90, which is 5 away from the start for 18, and 9 away from the start for 10.
