You need to find the least common multiple of 6 and 3. This the minimum whole number that contains the number of boxes in one package of pasta and the number of jars in one package of sauce. t he least common multiple of 6 and 3 is 6. This means that Manny can make 6 dinners, which will be made with 1 package of pasta (6 boxes ) and two packages of sauce (2 * 3 = 6 jars).
