Question

If Allie wants to give each of her classmates 3 pencils and the pencils come in packs of 8, and her class has 26 kids and it , how many packs of pencils does she need

Answer 1

10 packs

Explanation:

Allie wants to give each of her classmates 3 pencils, so she needs a total of 3 pencils * 26 classmates = 78 pencils.

The pencils come in packs of 8, so she needs 78 pencils / 8 pencils per pack = 9.75 packs of pencils.

Since you can't buy a fraction of a pack, Allie needs to buy 10 packs of pencils.
