Nathan helps out in the family pet shop on Saturdays. He must separate a shipment of 112 fish into nine bowls. Does Nathan have enough bowls if each bowl can fit no more than 12 fish? Explain why.

Respuesta :

he has 9 bowls...and each bowl holds ,at most, 12 fish...so he can house (12 * 9) = 108 fish at most.

so... no, he does not have enough bowls ....he only needs one more bowl
No, because 112 divided by 9 is 12.44444, and you can't put .4 of a fish in a fish bowl
