Question

Fred has $27 to buy sketch paper for his art class. Each sketch pad costs $2.

How many sketch pads can he buy? Do not include units in your answer.

Answer 1

Fred can buy 13 sketch pads with his $27, as each pad costs $2 and after dividing $27 by $2, the result is 13.5, which rounds down to 13 because he cannot purchase half a sketch pad.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fred has $27 to buy sketch paper, and each sketch pad costs $2. To find out how many sketch pads he can buy, we divide the total amount of money Fred has by the cost of each sketch pad.

So, we calculate this by performing the division:

Number of sketch pads = Total money / Cost of each sketch pad

Number of sketch pads = $27 / $2 = 13.5

Since Fred cannot buy half a sketch pad, we'll round down to the nearest whole number, which means Fred can buy 13 sketch pads with the money he has.

Answer 2

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

13x2=26 and since you cant have a half sketch pad he can only have 13.
