Answer:
Each shelter would get 121 blankets
And there would be 5 blankets left over
Explanation:
One of the local homeless shelters received a donation of 852 blankets to help support the homeless population during the harsh winter months. They plan on distributing them to all 7 of the local shelters. How many blankets will each shelter get? Will there be any leftover? If so, how many?
From the above question
7 local shelters = 852 blankets
1 local shelters = x blankets
Cross Multiply.
7x = 852 blankets
x = 852 blankets/7
x = 121 5/7 blankets
Therefore, Each shelter would get 121 blankets
And there would be 5 blankets left over
