Suppose that the grade 7 students expect to sell between 100 and 150 hot dogs how many packages of 12 wieners and 8 buns should the students buy if they don't want any leftovers justify your answer

Respuesta :

you have to find the common multiple between 100 and 150

multiples of 8: 8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80,88,96,104,112,120 ,128 , 136, 144

multiples of 12: 12,24,36,48,60,72,84,96,108, 120, 132, 144

The GCL  (Greatest common multiple) is 144 that is lower than 150 hotdogs, so it is 144.
12 packs of weiners, 18 packs of buns.

They would have to buy 10 packs of wieners and 15 packs of buns because 12 x 10 would equal 120 and 8 x 15 would also equal 120 leaving no leftover and keeping the number of hot dogs in the 100 - 150 range
