Question

Aldo needs 46 cookies for a party.

The cookies he wants come in packs of 8.
How many packs should he buy?

Answer 1

6 Packs

Explanation:

Since he needs 46 cookies, he will have to buy 46/8 which is 5.75 packs. But since the packs are sold in whole, not fractions, he buys a ceil approximation of the packs which is 6, because if he buys 5, it will not be enough.
