Question

Mr. Hayes has Ill straw bundles to use for bedding in his horse stalls. What is the

greatest number of stalls he can fill if each stall holds exactly 4 bundles of
straw?

Answer 1

We have been given that Mr. Hayes has 111 straw bundles to use for bedding in his horse stalls. We are asked to find the greatest number of bundles that he can fill if each stall holds exactly 4 bundles of straw.

To solve our given problem, we will divide 111 by 4.

`\text{Greatest number of stalls that can be filled}=(111)/(4)`

`\text{Greatest number of stalls that can be filled}=27.75`

Since 0.75 is not an integer, so Mr. Hayes cannot fill 0.75 of a stall. Therefore, the greatest possible number of stalls will be 27.
