Manny makes dinner using 1 box of pasta and 1 jar of sauce. If pasta is sold in packages of 6 boxes and sauce is sold in packages of 3 jars, what is the least number of dinners that Manny can make without any supplies left over?

Respuesta :

6 Dinners. He can buy 1 pack of pasta and 2 packs of sauce. then he will have 6 boxes of pasta and 6 jars of sauce
manny can make six dinners.
first find the least common multiple of 6 and 3. the least common multiple of 6 and 3 is 6. therefore, this means that manny can make 6 dinners, which will be made with 1 package of pasta (6 boxes ) and two packages of sauce (2 * 3 = 6 jars).
