Question

A spice rack has 6 shelves. Each shelf can display 15 spice jars. How many spice racks does a store need to display 2,250 spice jars?

Answer 1

We have

1 spice rack ----- 6 shelves

1 shelf ---- 15 spice jar

First, we need to know the number of shelves, so we will divide 2250 between 15

`(2250)/(15)=150`

We will need 150 shelves for 2250 spice jars

Then we need to know the number of spice racks, so we need to divide 150 between 6

`(150)/(6)=25`

We will need 25 spice racks for 2250 spice jars
