question

A camp needs to buy 827 granola bars for their campers. If each box contains 4 granola bars, how many boxes should the camp buy?

boxes

solution

Divide the number of granola bars by the number of bars in each box.

– 8

– 0

– 2

Now think about the remainder. The answer is either 206 or 207.

Multiply:

4 × 206 = 824

4 × 207 = 828

206 boxes (824 granola bars) is not enough. 207 boxes (828 granola bars) is correct. The camp should buy 207 boxes.
