Tony's calculator runs on 4 batteries. The store sells batteries in packs of 6. What is the least number of packs of batteries that Tony should buy so he has sets of batteries for his calculator with no batteries left over?​

Answer:

he should buy 2 sets of batteries

Explanation:

there are 6 batteries in each pack and he needs 4 so If he bought 2 packs he would have 12 which is enough to replace the batteries 3 times without having any left over

Maybe 2 Because two packs will hold a total of twelve batteries and he wants no leftover so he can use the 12 batteries in 3 times with none left over and 2 is the least amount of packs to buy with none leftover
