Question

Ms. Dangerfield wants to order 980 erasers for her class for the whole school year. Amazon is selling a bag of 250 erasers for a great price! How many bags of erasers should Ms.Dangerfield buy to have enough for her class this school year? You can use a number line to help you solve.

Answer 1

Ms.Dangerfeild should order 4 bags

Explanation:

250 times 4 is 1000 so Ms.Dangerfeild will have 20 extra erasers.

Answer 2

4 packages

Explanation:

We have to do 980/250.

So after you get that, you would get 3.92. It would not make sense to get 3.92 packages since that isn't possible on Amazon using common sense. Therefore we must round 3.92 to 4 packages.
