hot dogs are sold in packages of 10 and hot dog buns are sold in packs of 8 Tommy wants to know the least number of packs of hot dogs and buns he needs to buy so that he does not have any left over​

4 packs of hotdogs, 5 packs of buns

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we need to find the LCM, least common multiple, of 8 and 10 to find the least number of packs of hot dogs and buns that Tommy needs to buy.

The LCM of 8 and 10 is the smallest number that is both divisible by 8 and 10. One way we can find this is by checking all the multiples of 10 in ascending order to see if they are divisble by 8:

10 is not divisible by 8

20 is not divisible by 8

30 is not divisible by 8

40 is divisible by 8!

Therefore, Tommy will need to by 40 buns and 40 hotdogs. Since buns come in packs of 8 and hot dogs come in packs of 10, we can divide to get the number of packs Tommy should buy respectively:

÷ packs of hotdogs

÷ packs of buns

Tommy will need to buy 4 packs of hotdogs and 5 packs of buns so that he does not have anything left over.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
