Kevin makes snack bags that each contain a box of raisins and granola bar. each package of raisins contain 9 boxes. the granolabars come 12 to a package. what is the least number he can buy of each so that he has exactly the same number of granola bars and boxes of raisins? how many packages of each should he by?

a) 36 and b) 4 and 3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boxes each package  of raisins contains = 9

Number of granola bars in a box = 12

We need to find the least number he can buy of each so that he has exactly the same number of granola bars and boxes of raisins.

Least number = L.C.M.

So, we will find L.C.M. of 9 and 12 which is equal to 36.

So, the required least number would be 36.

Number of boxes would be

Number of granola bars would be

Hence, a) 36 and b) 4 and 3 respectively.

answer:   (s+1)(s+4)
