Question

Jamal is planting seeds for a garden nursery.He plants 9 seeds in each container. If Jamal has 296 seeds to plant about how many containers will he use

Answer 1

9 divided by 296 = 32.9 

Answer 2

First, you would need to create an equation to represent this problem. Since you are dividing 296 seeds among containers that hold 9 seeds each, you would divide the total number of seeds by the per container amount.
296 ÷ 9

Now, all you would need to do is solve it.
296 ÷ 9 = 32.8888888889 ≈ 33

You would need 33 whole containers to hold 296 seeds.

I hope this helps!
