Answer:

Wiley can make 10 snack packs.

Explanation:

Assuming that you can't put a fraction of one item in a snack pack and yoou must use all the items, Each pack must contain a integer number of items. The smallest possible way is for each snack pack to contain 3 slices of cheese and 4 crackers. This results in a total of 10 snack packs.
