Question

Arun bakery” got an order for ladoos and samosas from a customer. 

In his bakery, a box contains 24 ladoos and samosas in box of 20.

The customer purchased the smallest number of ladoos and samosas from this shop, so that he will have exactly 1 samosa per ladoo

Answer 1

Answer: 5 boxes of ladoos, 6 boxes of samosas

Step-by-step explanation: To calculate this answer, we can find the LCM (least common multiple) of 20 and 24. The LCM is the smallest number can be divided evenly (no fractions, decimals, etc.) by any two given numbers. In this case, the LCM of 20 and 24 is 120. In the context of this problem, this means that we will have 120 ladoos and 120 samosas, which is a 1:1 ratio as specified by the problem. Then, we can divide the LCM by each of our factors to find how many boxes of each there will be (120/24=5, 120/20=6).
