Answer:
c. 48 packages
d. Possibilities:
1 x 28 = 28
2 x 14 = 28
4 x 7 = 28
7 x 4 = 28
14 x 2 = 28
28 x 1 = 28
Possible combinations:
17, 1, 28
17, 2, 14
17, 4, 7
17, 7, 4
17, 14, 2
17, 28, 1
Explanation:
c. 127 employees get 3 uniforms each, meaning a total of 127 * 3 = 381 uniforms
The uniforms come in packs of 8, so dividing 381 by 8, we get:
381/8 = 47.625
However, you probably can't order a portion of a package, so you must round up to 48 packages. There will be 3 uniforms left over.
d. The divisors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 28. All I did was enumerate the six possibilities.
