Samantha is making brownies for the entire staff at Arlington Elementary School

Altogether, 73 adults help make her school a wonderful place to be and learn every
day. One box of brownies is enough for 16 teachers. How many boxes of brownies will
Samantha need to make in order to have enough for the entire staff at Arlington
Elementary School?

4 boxes, because 73 - 16 is about 4
4 boxes, because 73 : 16 is about 456
5 boxes, because 73 - 16 is about 4.56
Ether 4 or 5 because 73 - 16 is about 4.56

It’s 5 boxes because..


4 x 16 = 64 so that wouldn’t be enough

However:

5 x 16 = 80 which is enough for 73 people

Hope this helps! Have a nice day :)
