Answer 1

7 packages

Explanation:

Tuesday:

To work this out you would first need to work out how many she has on Monday. First you would divide 63 by 9 to work out 1 ninth, which gives you 7. Then you would multiply 7 by 7 to work out 7 ninths, which gives you 49.

1) Divide 63 by 9.

`63/9=7`

2) Multiply 7 by 7.

`7*7=49`

3) She has 49 packages on Tuesday

Wednesday:

To work this out for Wednesday you would first divide 49 by 7 to work out what one seventh is, Which gives you 7. Then you would multiply 7 by 1, which gives you 7.

1) Divide 49 by 7.

`49/7=7`

2) Multiply 7 by 1.

`7*1=7`

3) She has 7 packages on Wednesday
