Answer 1

Answer:

16 bread roll packs and 30 sausages

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 30 by 16 =480

to get 480

you need 16 bread roll packs and

30 sausages pack  

Answer 2

Both 16 and 30 have a GCF ( Greatest Common Factor) of 2.

16/2=8
30/2=15

So the smallest number of packets would be 8 packets of sausages and 15 packets of bread to have an equal number of sausages to bread.
