Question

Jenny wishes to advertise her business, so she gives packs of 8 red flyers to each restaurant owner and sets of 4 blue flyers to each clothing store owner. At the end of the day, Jenny realizes that she gave out the same number of red and blue flyers. What is the minimum number of flyers of each color?

Answer 1

8 red flyers and 8 blue flyers

Explanation:

Packs of red flyers = 8

Blue flyers = 4

Jenny realizes that she gave out the same number of red and blue flyers

Find the lowest multiples of 8 and 4

8 = 8, 16, 24, 32

4 = 4, 8, 12, 16

The lowest common multiples of 8 and 4 is 8

Therefore,

The minimum number of flyers of each color is

8 red flyers and 8 blue flyers
