Question

For another picnic you want to make hamburgers with pickles, again without having any left over. You need to balance the number of packages of buns (which usually contain 8 buns) with the number of packages of hamburger patties (which usually contain 12 patties) and the number of jars of pickles (which contain 18 slices). Assume that each hamburger needs three pickle slices. What is the smallest number of packages of buns, packages of patties, and jars of pickles, respectively? Express your answer as three integers separated by commas.

Explanation / Answer

1 jar of pickles will have enough slices for 6 burgers, so 2 jars covers one package of patties. 12 * 25 = 300, so 25 packages of patties. 8 * 38 = 304, so 38 packages of buns. Since the number of buns and patties won't match at this level, you need to add patties and buns. 12 * 26 = 312 patties 8 * 39 = 312 buns 2 jars of pickles per package of patties: 52 jars of pickles. So 26 packages of patties, 39 packages of buns, and 52 jars of pickles.
