Question

Samantha is making brownies for the entire staff at Arlington Elementary School

Altogether, 73 adults help make her school a wonderful place to be and learn every

Samantha need to make in order to have enough for the entire staff at Arlington
Elementary School?

Answer 1

It’s 5 boxes because..


4 x 16 = 64 so that wouldn’t be enough

However:

5 x 16 = 80 which is enough for 73 people

Hope this helps! Have a nice day :)
