Answer:

2 stalls

Explanation:

Mr. Hayes has 11 straw bundles to use forr bedding in his horse stalls. What is the greatest number of stalls he can fill if each stall holds exactly 4 bundles

1 stall = 4 bundles

4 bundles = 1 stall

11 bundles = x

Cross Multiply

4x = 11

x = 11/4

x = 2 3/4 stalls

The greatest number of stalls he can build is 2 stalls
