Answer:

48 packages

Explanation:

Hello There!

The first step is to find out how many uniforms they need to do so we multiply 127 and 3

3x127=381

Then we divide it by 8 ( because that's how many uniforms are sold in one package.)

381/8=47.625

you cannot have a 6th of a package so we just round to the nearest whole

so we can conclude that they will need 48 packages
