Question

The Gregory family is preparing for a family reunion. They think they will need 15 juice boxes for every 5 children who attend. How many juice boxes will they need if they are expecting 26 children?

Answer 1

Answer: 78 juice boxes

Explanation:

The Gregory family thinks that they will need 15 juice boxes for every 5 children.

The number of juice boxes they will need for every child is:

= Number of juice boxes for 5 children / 5

= 15 / 5

= 3 juice boxes per child

If they are expecting 26 children, they will need:

= 3 * 26

= 78 juice boxes
