Juice comes in packs of 6 and granola bars come in packs of 8. If there are 24 players on the soccer
team, what is the least number of packs needed so
that each player has a drink and granola bar and
there are none left over? (Hint: You will have 2
answers)

4 packs of juice

3 packs of granola bars

Step-by-step explanation:

if you have 4 packs of juice with 6 in them, you will have 24 juice boxes, one per player (4 x 6).

If you have 3 packs of granola bars with 8 in them, you will have 24 granola bars, one per player ( 3 x 8).

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.

4n=2m

ratio of m to n: 2/4 = 1/2

answer

a. 1/2
