Question

Anita has 4,128 ice cream sticks. She can make a model of a house using 86 sticks. She can make a model of a castle using 96 sticks. If she makes nothing but model houses, how many can she make using all of the ice cream sticks?

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

Since she is making only model houses and no castles, we can exclude the number 96 from our equation. Since you want to know 86 x __ = 4,128, you need to divide. 4128/86= 48.
