Question

Cat treats are on 4 shelves at Mr. Maikas's pet shop. There are currently 8 bags on the top shelf. He needs to arrange 25 more bags of treats. If he wants them divided up evenly on the shelves, about how many bags should go on each shelf?

Answer 1

Answer: 8

Explanation:

Since there are currently 8 bags on the top shelf and he needs to arrange 25 more bags of treats. The total number of bags will be:

= 8 bags + 25 bags

= 33 bags

Since Cat treats are on 4 shelves at Mr. Maikas's pet shop and he wants to divide them equally, we then divide 33 by 4. This will be:

= 33/4

= 8.25

= 8 approximately

Therefore, 8 bags will go on each shelf
