    He will have 13 packages containing 3 pairs of headphones and 1 music player each.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    He has 39 pairs of headphones and 13 music players.

    He wants to sell both set of items in identical packages.

    To do this he has to divide them in such a way that the same number of both set of objects are in every box.

    Let us find the ratio of the pairs of headphones to music players:

    39 : 13 = 3 : 1

    Therefore, dividing the pairs of headphones into 3 parts and the music players into 1 part, he can have identical packages.

    So, he will have 13 packages containing 3 pairs of headphones and 1 music player each.
