Question

Mrs marks wants to buy 89 pens. If the pens come in packs of 10, how many packs does she need to buy

Answer 1

Answer: 9 packs

Step-by-step explanation:

• Mrs. Marks wants 89 pens.
• Pens come in packs of 10

89 is about 90. The pens come in packs of 10, so divide 90 by 10 and the quotient is 9.

Answer 2

Answer:

9 packs

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{89}{10} = 8\frac{9}{10}$

Since you can't buy $\frac{9}{10}$ of a pack, you must round up to 9.
