Question

or
By coincidence, Brittany's Paint Supplies sold equal quantities of two paint colors yesterday: yellow and blue. All yellow paint comes in 9-liter containers while blue paint is sold in containers of 10 liter. What is the smallest amount of each paint color the store must have sold?

liter

Answer 1

The smallest amount of each paint color the store must have sold is 9 liters of yellow paint and 10 liters of blue paint. This is because both colors were sold in equal quantities, and the sizes of the containers are not multiples of each other. Therefore, the store must have sold one full container of each color.
