It has something to do with the thickness of the noodle
Answer #2:
The numbers are not actually sizes, they're more of a product code that the manufacturer uses for product reference. I suppose they could be used for size reference but it will vary from company to company.
For example, for Barilla-brand pasta, the lower the number, the thinner. So a #1 is capellini (Thin, in America known as "Angel hair"), while a #13 is bavette. However, I have found that most pasta manufacturer's numbers are relatively the same. So to answer your question in the discussion as well, #8 is thicker than a #6.
Many Italian-made and imported brands will opt to use a more-or-less standard sizing convention, like capellini, bavette, spaghettini, bucatine, bavattine, etc.

Manny can make dinner using 1 box of pasta and 1 jar of sauce. Since pasta is sold in packages of 6 boxes and sauce in packages of 3 jars, the least common multiple of the packages is 6 for pasta and 3 for sauce, which results in 6 boxes of pasta and 6 jars of sauce. This allows Manny to make 6 dinners, as he can use 1 box of pasta and 1 jar of sauce for each dinner. Thus, the least number of dinners Manny can make is 6.
