A teacher wants to give 3 markers to each of her 25 students. Markers come in packages of 8. How many packages of markers will the teacher need?

Asked by gsljg1025

Answer (3)

First, find out how many markers in total the teacher will need. 25 ∗ 3 = 75 Then, find out how many packages the teacher will need by dividing by 8 because that's how many are in each package. 8 75 ​ = 9.375 Now because there is a remainder of .375 that tells us that there are not enough markers in 9 packages to give all students 3 each.
She will have to buy an additional package to give every student 3 markers each.
10 Packages are needed.

Teacher wants to give 3 markers to each of 25 students. To find how much markes she need we have to multiply 3 25, so 3 25=75
Finally we can find how many packages she need. To get the answer we have to divide 75 by 8, so 75:8=9.375 Now we have to round up because we cant buy 9.3 packages. The final result its 10.

The teacher needs a total of 75 markers for 25 students receiving 3 markers each. To get these, she will need to purchase 10 packages of markers since each package contains 8 markers. This rounding is necessary because we cannot buy a fraction of a package.
