Question

A store has 1353

pair of socks. The socks are sold in pack of 3
pairs. How many packs of socks the store can sell?

Answer 1

The store can sell 451 socks.
Step-by-step explanation:

The store has a total of 1353 socks.
The store sells the socks in a pack of 3.

If we divide 1353 by 3 we’ll get 451.
Hence the store sells 451 packs of socks.

Answer 2

Answer: The store can sell 451 packs of socks.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the number of packs of socks the store can sell, we need to divide the total number of socks by the number of socks in each pack.

Since each pack contains 3 pairs of socks, or 6 individual socks, we can find the number of packs by dividing the total number of socks by 6:

1353 socks ÷ 6 socks per pack = 225.5 packs

However, since we can't sell a fraction of a pack, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the store can sell 451 packs of socks.
