Question

Bri wants to buy as many flip flops as she can at the store. Each flip flop costs $4 and she has $50 with her. Write an inequality to show the maximum number of flip flops Bri can buy.

Answer 1

she can buy 12½flip flops

Explanation:

it's actually easy : just do 50÷4 but then u will get something like 12.5 so if you are confused , you can divide by the closest number to 50 and the number which is a multiple of 4

so,

48÷4 = 12 and with the remaining 2 $ she can buy a half flip flop more if she wants because 4/2

Therefore , the total number of flip flops she can buy = 12½ flip flops
