Answer: 24 plates and 24 cups

3 packs of Cups

4 packs of plates

Two others:

6 packs of Cups

8 packs of plates

9 packs of Cups

12 packs of plates

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal of the first problem, is to find the smallest number that is a multiple of 8 and 6.

The answer is 24.

24/8=3

24/6=4

24 is the smallest number that is divisible by 8 and 6

The goal of the second problem is to find the factors of the smallest multiple of 8 and 6

24/8=3

24/6=4

3*8 and 6*4 are the equations that get you that number.

The goal of the third problem, is to find two other multiples of both 8 and

6
