Question

each bag holds 12 apples if there are 75 students total. how many bags of apples will Steve need to buy if he wants to give one apple to each student

Answer 1

If he is to gave one apple to each student, there will have to buy 75 apples.

12 apples require 1 bag.

75 apples would require: 75 / 12

= 6.25 bags.

There can't be 6.25 bags. So he would need to buy 7 bags in all.

Answer 2

75/12= 6.25. Steve will have to buy 7 bags. He will have 9 apples left over.
