Answer 1

4 packages of spoons and 4 packages of forks

Explanation:

spoons: divide the number of people (20) by the number of spoons in one package (6) and you get a little under 4 but you need to round up since you can't buy part of a pack

forks : divide the number of people (20) by the number of forks in one package (8) and you get a little under 4 but you need to round up since you can't buy part of a pack
