Question

Ms Hieronymus goes through 1/2 a package of pencils every 1/8 a month for her students How many packages does Ms Hieronymus need for 10 months

Answer 1

Every 1/8 month (ie about 4 days) she uses 1/2 a package

So every month she will use 8 x (1/2) = 4 packages

So in 10 months she will use 4 x 10 = 40 packages
