Mrs. Childress has 12 packs of pencils and 8 packs of cap erasers. What is the FEWEST amount of each
she will need to buy in order to have an equal
number packs of both pencils and cap erasers?

4 packs of erasers and 0 packs of pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

To minimize what she needs to buy to end up with the same number of packs of pencils and erasers, she needs to make the number of each to be equal. So the total number of packs should be 12. She all ready has 12 pencil packs and would only need to buy 4 eraser packs

she will sew have sewn five dresses   and be 1/3 done with the sixth one in an hour.

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of an hour=45 mins

lucy makes 1 dress per 11.25 minutes

45 mins+11.25 mins=56.25 mins

60 mins- 56.25 mins=3.75 mins

3.75 mins is 1/3 of of 11.25 mins

therefore she the other 1/3 would be part of the hour and she will have sewn 5 dresses and begun the sixth.
