Maths word problem

Question

Cans of soft-drink come in packs of 4 cans or packs of 6 cans. How many packs of 4 cans and 6 cans give the same total number of cans?

Answer 1

Hi Aya, you are looking for multiples of 12 cans since 12 is the smallest number which 4 and 6 will divide evenly.

Therefore, 3 packs of 4 cans will equal 2 packs of 6 cans and all multiples of 12 will contain the same number of cans.
