Problem Solving

Question 24.
Three bags of packing peanuts are used to fill 2 boxes. How many bags of packing peanuts does each box use? Between which two whole numbers does the answer lie?
Answer:
1.5
Explanation:
If you need to know the number of bags per box, or bags/box
then you know to divide the number of bags by number of boxes:
3 bags/(2 boxes) = 1.5 bags/box
1.5 bags of packing peanuts each box use
so the answer lies between 1 and 2

Question 25.
A van has room for 6 students and 2 teachers. How many vans are needed for a total of 48 students and 16 teachers?
Answer:
8
Explanation:
A van has room for 6 students and 2 teachers.
Total number of students = 48, to find the number of vans needed we take the quotient between the number of students and the number of students that fit on each van,
\(\frac{48}{6}\) = 8
And there are 16 teachers,
\(\frac{16}{2}\) = 8
So we need 8 vans  for 48 students and 16 teachers.

Question 26.
The table shows the number of each type of toy in a store. The toys will be placed on shelves so that each shelf has the same number of each type of toy. How many shelves are needed for each type of toy so that it has the greatest number of toys?
Answer:
15 shelves
Explanation:
45 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45.
105: 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35 ,105.
75: 1, 3, 5, 15, 25 ,75.
The common factor of 45, 105, 75 is 15
Therefore , we will need 15 shelves.
On each shelf there will be  \(\frac{45}{15}\) = 3dolls ,  \(\frac{105}{15}\) = 7 footballs,  \(\frac{75}{15}\) = 5 small cars.
