Answer:

63 packages

Explanation:

Since the cafeteria wants to buy 4851 forks and each package contains 77 forks, we can determine how many packages they should buy by dividing 4851 by 77:

Packages = Amount of forks desired / Number of forks in each package

Packages = 4851 / 77

Packages = 63

Thus, the cafeteria should buy 63 packages in order to get 4851 forks, given that each package contains 77 forks.
