Jennifer needs to fit 28 t-shirts into her

new dresser. Each drawer can hold 6
shirts. How many drawers will she need
to use to put all of the t-shirts away?
[?] drawers
Hint: if your quotient has a remainder,
you will need to add one more drawer
so that all of the shirts can be put away.

Answer:

SO 28 new t shirts.

Each drawer can hole 6 tshirts.


How many drawers needed.

Now this is a division problem, how many “6 tshirts” can fit into 28 t shirts.

Something like that.

Anyways its 28/6 or 28 ÷ 6 = 4 remainder 4

4 r 4

Now we need all t shirts put away not 24 and have 4 left over. So we can just get another drawer and add it to the whole number.

So 5 drawers
