Question

Mary needs to buy 44 cookies for her party. If 6 cookies come in a package, how many packages of cookies does she buy?

A) 6
B) 7
C) 8
D) 9

Hint*NOT 7.

Answer 1

8 packages.

Explanation:

8 x 6 is 48. So that will get Mary 44 that she needs and 4 extras. Any smaller number of packages will mean not enough cookies. :-(

Answer 2

c because 6 times 8 is 48 which is greater than 42
