She might at the moment not know if she is going to be in the company of either 4 — 6 kids. What this problem deals with is finding a common multiple between 4 and 6. The question does not ask how many bags she needs to buy. She could be using brown lunch bags on hand in her kitchen pantry. The question asks how many stickers she needs to buy. She needs to buy 12… or 24… or 36… it just depends on her math skills and how generous she is willing to be.
