The science club sponsors is ordering caps and shirts for the boys and girls in the science club. There are 45 science club members. If the caps in some packages of 3 and the shirts come in packages of 5 what is the least number of packages of caps and church that will need to be ordered

Answer 1

The least number of package of cap required is 15, while that of shirt is 9

Explanation:

Total number of members = 45

The cap comes in package of 3

The shirt comes in package of 5

The least number of the package of caps they need to order is =?

Since they're 45 in numbers, we can divide 45 by 3 to know the total number of package required to go round.

Number of package of caps = 45 / 3

Number of package of caps = 15

We can also go ahead and find the number of package for shirt required by using the same method, only this time we'll divide it by 5 instead of 3

Number of package for shirt = 45 / 5

Number of package for shirt = 9

Therefore, the least number of package of caps required is 15 while that of shirt is 9
