Question

The workers at Cameron's Flower Shop are putting 1,323 bamboo flowers into vases for a party. Each vase must hold exactly 8 bamboo flowers. What is the total number of flowers the workers can fill completely

Answer 1

Answer: 165

Explanation:

Given

The shop has 1323 bamboo flowers

Each vase can hold exactly 8 bamboo flowers

no of the vase(n) filled with 8 flowers are

`\Rightarrow n=(1323)/(8)=165.375`

i.e. 165 is completely filled and 166th is partly filled

`\Rightarrow 165* 8=1320` i.e. 3 flowers are left after filling 165 vases completely.
