does Caroline buy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Caroline buys 3 packs of candles and 5 packs of holders.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) You need to add numbers of candle packs together until they both reach the same number, for example, multiples of 30 are 30, 60, 90.

2.) Then you add multiples of the holders. 18, 36, 54, 72, 90.

3.) You find that Caroline buys 3 pakcs of candles and 5 packs of holders to have the same number of both.
