For another picnic, you want to make hamburgers with pickles, again without having any left over. you need to balance the number of packages of buns (which usually contain 8 buns) with the number of packages of hamburger patties (which usually contain 12 patties) and the number of jars of pickles (which contain 18 slices). assume that each hamburger needs three pickle slices. what is the smallest number of packages of buns, packages of patties, and jars of pickles, respectively? express your answer as three integers separated by commas.

No. of packages of bun - 3

No. of packages of patties - 2

Jars of pickles - 4

Explanation:

A hamburger consists of :  

1 bun, 1 patties and 3 pickles slices

Each packet of bun = 8 units

Each packet of patties = 12 units

Each jar of pickles = 18 slices

Since there should be no left over. So, for making 24 hamburgers, 3 packets of bun and 2 packets of patties are required. And, we know that 3 slices of pickles are need to make one hamburger and each jar of pickles contains 18 slices of pickles. Therefore, 4 jars of pickles are required to make 24 hamburgers.

Hence,

No. of packages of bun - 3

No. of packages of patties - 2

Jars of pickles - 4
