Answer:

The maximum number that the store can give to the employee is 89.

Step-by-step explanation: first multiple 56 and 8 because one pack of uniform contains 8 and the store brought 56 packs. Then the question included that each employee will get 5 uniforms. So the product of 56 time 8, which is 448 then divided by 5 for the amount of uniform the employees get. After the division your answer will be 89.6, but the question ask the how many uniforms can the store give to the employee. But you can’t count the decimal, because that will make one employee not having enough uniform. So your answer is 89.

Thank you for reading this to the end.
