Question

Nina is the head nurse at a hospital and must order supplies. If 1/4 of a package of bandages lasts 1/8 of the month, how many packages of bandages are need for the entire month? Set it up!

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

A full month is eight eighths of the month. You know that 1/4 package lasts 1/8 month. A full month is 8 times that, so you need 8 times 1/4 package.

8 * 1/4 = 8/1 * 1/4 = 8/4 = 2
