Answer: 10 envelopes

Explanation: 28÷3=9.33
Now, I am assuming you can't have 9 1/3 envelopes, so I rounded up (which makes the answer 10).

Answer:

10 envelopes

Explanation:

What we know:

- There are 3 drawings for each envelope

- There are 28 drawings in total

To find out the number of envelopes Declan would need, we divide 28 by 3 (check the picture attached).

28÷3=9 R1

28 divided by 3 gives us 9 with a remainder of 1, which means if Declan had 9 envelopes, he would be able to fit 3 drawings in each with 1 drawing left over. He would need a 10th envelope to use for the last drawing.

Therefore, Declan would need 10 envelopes to mail all the drawings to his grandma.

I hope this helps! Happy holidays :)
