Question

Jerry’s buying cases of apples to sell at the town carnival. Each apple is 1/8 the size of an Apple case. If he plans to sell 45 apples, how many cases should he buy

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

45 apples is 45 times 1/8 case:

45 × (1/8 case) = 45/8 cases = 5 5/8 cases

Assuming Jerry can only buy whole cases, he must buy 6 cases to get 45 apples.
