Question

Linda has 25 students in her class, and she wants each student to have 3 ice-cream sandwiches. If there are 15 sandwiches in a box, how many boxes should Linda buy?

Answer 1

each must have 3
3 times number of studnets=popsicles she must buy
3 times 25=75
she needs 75 posicles

number of poples bought=number per box times number of boxes
needs 75
75=15 times number of box
divide both sides by 15
5=number of boxes


should buy 5 boxes
