Answer: Sugar = 3 cartons, Flour = 5 cartons, Rice = 6 cartons

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar = 10 packets/carton

Flour = 6 packets/carton

Rice = 5 packets/carton

10, 20 30... sugar

6, 12, 18, 24, 30... flour

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30... rice

30/10 = 3 cartons of sugar

30/6 = 5 cartons of flour

30/5 = 6 cartons of rice

For all the number of packets to be equal.
