Question

Students are planning a hotdog sale. They expect to sell about 250 hotdogs. The local grocery store sells wieners in packages of 12 and buns in packages of 8. How many packages of wieners and buns should the students buy if they want to make about 100 hotdogs, with no wieners or buns left over?

Answer 1

8 packages of dogs and 12 packages of buns

Explanation:

The students want to make about 100 hotdogs with nothing leftover.

To start, let's divide 100 by 12 (for packages of dogs) and 8 (for buns).

100 ÷ 12 = 8.33

100 ÷ 8 = 12.5

Since we want nothing left over, we'll round down to the lower number.

8 packages of dogs

12 packages of buns

This makes 96 hotdogs with nothing leftover, which is about 100 hotdogs.
