Question

4. A manager of a school cafeteria plans to serve hot dogs during lunch. He needs to purchase the hot dog buns. Each package contains 8 hot dog buns. How many packages does he need to purchase to serve 146 hot dogs? ​

Answer 1

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 146 by 8 (146 hotdogs divided by 8 buns in one pack)

146 ÷ 8 = 18.25

This means we need 18.25 packages of hot dog buns

But, we can't buy .25 of a package. That doesn't make sense. So, even though we only need a couple more buns for 146 hot dogs, we need to purchase ONE MORE extra package

18 + 1

Final answer: 19 PACKAGES
