Question

A landscaper uses 1225 lb of soil to complete a project. The soil comes in bags that weigh 40 lb each.

How many bags of soil does the landscaper use to complete the project

Answer 1

This would be found by dividing 1225 by 40, and rounding any leftover bags up to the next integer. In this case, 1225 / 40 would be 30.625, which would round upward to 31 bags needed to complete the project.
