Answer:
36 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
Yellow paint = 9 liters containers
Blue paint = 12 liters containers
Kimberly’s Paint Supplies sold equal quantities of two paint colors yesterday
What is the smallest amount of each paint color the store must have sold?
Find the Lowest common multiple of 9 liters and 12 liters
9 liters = 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99
12 liters = 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108
The Lowest common multiple of 9 liters and 12 liters is 36 liters
Therefore, the smallest amount of each paint color the store must have sold to have equal quantities of two paint colors yesterday is 36 liters
