Answer:

He needs 4 boxes of bows

He needs 3 boxes of ribbons

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the LCM (least common multiple), we can divide 6 and 8 by 2

6 ÷ 2 = 3

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Then, multiply the quotient of 8/2 by 6 and multiply the quotient of 6/2 by 8

8 · 3 = 24

6 · 4 = 24

To get 24 of each, he will need to get 4 boxes of bows and 3 boxes of ribbons.
