KPalm · Answer

If I'm not mistaken, this site actually has a built in calculator, but not sure if you need to practice long division (are they still doing that these days?)

You can also solve this question by setting up a proportion.

$$\frac{ 3~packages }{ $7 }=\frac{ x }{ $42 }$$

First, you cross-multiply.

$$(7)(x)=(3)(42)$$
$$7x = 126$$

Divide both sides by 7:

$$\frac{ 7x }{ 7 }=\frac{ 126 }{ 7 }$$
$$x = 18$$

That means you can buy 18 packages of blueberries for $42.

so we had it wrong...

KPalm · Answer

Oh shoot, I was reading it wrong! THREE cost 7! so after dividing take that answer and multiply by 3. The answer to 42/7 is 6, though

Krissy525 · Answer

yea same
