I need the answer ASAP

The smallest number of each color Emma could buy is 5 packs of purple beads, 8 packs of red beads, and 4 bags of blue beads.

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 5, 8, and 10 is 40.

To find out the least amount of bags Emma could buy, you would need to multiply each number of beads by a number to make 40, which is the LCM

For example,

8 x 5 = 40

5 x 8 = 40

10 x 4 = 40.

Hope this helps!

40

Explaining: The number of purple beads in the packet = 8,

While, the number of red beads in a packet = 5,

Thus, the smallest number of beads of each color = LCM(8, 5),

∵ 8 = 1 × 8,

5 = 1 × 5

⇒ LCM(8, 5) = 40,
