Question

A builder needed to buy one hundred fifty-four boards for his latest project. If the board he needs comes in packs of three, how many packets will he need to buy

Answer 1

51.3 packets or 51 1/3 packers

Explanation:

From the above question:

The board he needs comes in packs of three. This means

1 pack = 3 boards

Hence:

3 boards = 1 packet

154 boards = x

Cross Multiply

3x = 154

x = 154/3

x = 51.333333333 packets

Approximately = 51.3 packets or 51 1/3 packers

The builder will need to buy 51.3 packets or 51 1/3 packers
