Pencils come in packages of 10. Erasers come in packages of 12. Phillip want to purchase the smallest number of pencils and erasers so that he will have exactly 1 erasers per pencil. How many packages of pencils and erasers should Phillip buy

6 packages of pencils

5 packages of erasers

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find the LCM of 10 and 12, which is 60

because 60 is divisible by both 10 and 12

60/10 = 6 packages of pencils

60/12 = 5 packages of erasers

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
