Answer:

There will be 4 ice cream containers and the number of ice cream cone package is 3.

We will be able to make 36 ice cream cones and this is the fewest number of ice cream cones.

Step-by-step explanation:

One container of ice cream holds 9 scoops of ice cream.

And, one package of ice cream cones has 12 cones.

One cone with one scoop of ice cream will make a cone ice cream.

Now, we want to make the fewest number of ice cream cones and no ice cream or cones leftover.

Therefore, we have to find the least common multiple of 9 and 12 which is 36 and there must be 36 ice cream scoops and 36 ice cream cones.

So, there will be $\frac{36}{9} = 4$ ice cream containers.

and the number of ice cream cone package is $\frac{36}{12} =3$

Hence, we will be able to make 36 ice cream cones and this is the fewest number of ice cream cones. (Answer)
