    He needs to buy: 5 packages of hot dogs buns and 4 packages of hot dogs. He needs to buy forty of each.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Need to calculate the least common denominator of the packages of hot dogs buns and the packages of hot dogs.

    10 8 2

    5 4 2

    5 2 2

    5 1 5

    5

    LCD = 2x2x2x5 = 40

    To know the number of packages divide the LCD by the initial quantities

    # packages of hot dogs buns = 40/8 = 5

    # packages of hot dogs = 40/10 = 4
