Question

A teacher wants to give 3 markers to each of her 25 students. Markers come in groups of 8. How many packages of markers will the teacher need?

Answer 1

The teacher needs 9 3/8 packages so they need to buy 10 packages

Explanation:

3 markers to 25 students = 75 markers needed

the markers come in packages of 8

75/8 = 9 with 3 left over

9 3/8 packages

we have to round up or the teacher doesn't buy enough packages

The teacher needs to buy 10 packages
