Do your answers make sense to you?
1500/8 = 187.5 = 188 boxes
1500/12 = 125
1500/16 = ?
How many boxes will Blake need to pack the Cds in groups of 8? groups of 12? groups of 16?
8=1875?
12=125?
16=9375?
1500/8 = 187.5 = 188 boxes
1500/12 = 125
1500/16 = ?
For groups of 8:
To calculate the number of boxes needed for groups of 8, we divide the total number of CDs (1500) by 8. Therefore, the result is:
1500 CDs ÷ 8 CDs/group = 187.5 groups
Since we can't have a fraction of a group, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. So, Blake will need 188 boxes to pack the CDs in groups of 8.
For groups of 12:
To calculate the number of boxes needed for groups of 12, we divide the total number of CDs (1500) by 12. Therefore, the result is:
1500 CDs ÷ 12 CDs/group = 125 groups
In this case, the number of groups is a whole number. So, Blake will need 125 boxes to pack the CDs in groups of 12.
For groups of 16:
To calculate the number of boxes needed for groups of 16, we divide the total number of CDs (1500) by 16. Therefore, the result is:
1500 CDs ÷ 16 CDs/group = 93.75 groups
Again, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. So, Blake will need 94 boxes to pack the CDs in groups of 16.
