Question

2. Lara collects shark's teeth. She has 72 teeth. She wants to put them in special cases. Each case can hold 10 teeth. How many cases should Lara buy? Draw a picture to find the answer. Then explain how you know your answer is correct.​

Answer 1

Lara should buy 8 boxes

Explanation:

To start we would need to do

72/10

since 72 isn't a multiple of ten we can round it down to 70, then do

70/10=7

since we still have two teeth, we can put them in their own box so

7+1=8
