    Answer: 3 packages of DVD cases and 5 packets of padded mailing envelopes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 (DVD cases) and 12 (envelopes).

    20: 20,40,60,80

    12: 24,36,48,60

    Since DVD cases are sold in packages of 20: to find the number of packages we have to divide the number of DVD cases that we could buy (60) by the number of DVD cases that each package contains (20).

    60/20 = 3 packages of DVD cases

    And for the envelopes (12)

    60/12 = 5 packets of Padded mailing envelopes
