Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) First, find multiples of 30 by adding 30 to itself. For example, 30, 60, 90.

2.) Second, find multiples of pakcs of holders until it matches the multiples of candle packs. 18, 36, 54, 72, 90.

3.) then you find that Caroline buys 3 packs of candles and 5 packs of candle holders so she has the same amount of both.
