Question

Answer 1

Ms. Morgan will have enough money to provide each of her 19 students with 2 cookies each.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if Ms. Morgan has enough money to provide each of her 19 students with 2 cookies each, we need to calculate the total cost of the cookies she plans to buy. Each package of cookies costs $2.49 and contains 6 cookies, so the cost per cookie is $2.49/6 = $0.415. To provide 2 cookies for each student, Ms. Morgan needs a total of 2 x 19 = 38 cookies.Therefore, the total cost of the required number of cookies is 38 x $0.415 = $15.77.

Since Ms. Morgan has $17.00 to spend, which is greater than the total cost of the cookies, she will have enough money to provide each of her 19 students with 2 cookies each.

Answer 2

No

Step-by-step explanation:

A package has 6 cookies for $2.49

Ms. Morgan has 19 students. She wants to give each student 2 cookies, which means each package is enough for 3 students.

19 students × 2 cookies = 38 cookies is what you need

7 packages times $2.49 = $17.43

7 packages × 6 cookies = 42 cookies

42 cookies ÷ 19 students = 2.21 cookies for each student
