A school needs 34,608 notebooks for next year. If the notebooks come in packages of 24, how many packages should the school buy?

lowkey:

Since it comes in packages of four, all you need to do is divide the packages of 24 by the total notebooks needed.

bill533:

would it be 10

bill533:

20 ?

lowkey:

You would divide \[\frac{ needed~notebooks }{ notebooks~inside~one~package}=total~packages~the~school~should~buy\]

bill533:

24 divided by 4

lowkey:

No, the needed notebooks are 34,608. The 24 would actually go on the bottom.

bill533:

oh ok

bill533:

34,608 divided by 24

lowkey:

Yep.

bill533:

1442

bill533:

right ?

lowkey:

Correct, so you need 1442 packages of 24 notebook bundles to help a school out.

bill533:

ok thank you on that one but if you could would you help with more ?

lowkey:

New post please.
