Henry wants to buy the same number of gift bags and bows. Gift bags are sold in packs of 6. Bows are sold in packs of 9. What is the least number of gift bags and bows that George can buy?

Henry will buy 18 gift bags and 18 bows in 3 packs of gift bags and 2 packs of bows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Least Common Multiple (LCM)

Is the smallest positive number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. To find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number. Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.

Since Henry wants to buy the same number of gift bags and bows and they are sold in packs with different quantities, we must find the LCM between those numbers.

Gift bags are sold in packs of 6. Bows are sold in packs of 9.

List the prime factors of 6: 2,3

List the prime factors of 9: 3,3

Multiply: 2*3*3=18

The  LCM is 18. This means Henry will buy 18 gift bags and 18 bows in 3 packs of gift bags and 2 packs of bows.

a² + b²= c²

24² + 7² = c²

c= 25

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
