Question

Hosting a breakfast brunch for 26 people, you plan to serve scrambled eggs.

The grocery store sells eggs in cartons, and each carton can feed 4 people,
How many cartons of eggs must you buy to ensure each guest a serving?

Answer 1

7 cartons.

Explanation:

To do this we can use division, to see how many cartons are needed.

The expression would be:

26/4

This equals 6.5

However, we can't buy half a carton meaning we need 7 cartons to ensure each guest has a serving.

6 cartons would serve 24 people, and 2 guests wouldn't have a serving.

(6*4=24)
