How many bags of feathers will the fifteen scouts use to decorate picture frames? Between what to whole numbers of bags is the exact number of feathers nedded to make the frames?

Respuesta :

We know that,

Number of scouts = 15

Number of feathers required by each scout = 18

Hence, Total Number of feathers required = 15 * 18 = 270

We also know that Number of feathers in each bag = 12

Hence, number of bags required to decorate picture frames = Total number of feathers required ÷ number of feathers in each bag

⇒ Number of bags required to decorate picture frames = 270 ÷ 12

⇒ Number of bags required to decorate picture frames = 22.5

Since half a bag can't be bought 23 bags would be required.
