There are 6 chicken paddies in one pack. there r 8 buns in one pack . Samantha will buy the same number of chicken paddies and buns . how man bun chicken could she buy.
24 of each or 4 chicken paddies packs
and 3 bun packs
yes, 24 is the least common multiple of 6 and 8
To find out how many bun-chicken Samantha could buy, we need to determine the maximum number of packs of chicken patties or buns she can purchase without having leftovers. Since there are 6 chicken patties in one pack and 8 buns in one pack, we can find the common multiple of these numbers.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8 is the smallest number that is divisible by both 6 and 8 without leaving a remainder. To find the LCM, we can list the multiples of 6 and 8 and find the smallest common multiple:
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, ...
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, ...
From the list, we can see that the smallest common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24. This means that Samantha could buy 24 chicken patties and 24 buns without having leftovers.
Therefore, Samantha could buy 24 "bun-chicken."
