6 0

350 divided by 40 equals 8.75. He needs 9 because he fills 8 completely but has some left over. He can't just not fill them, so you would need an extra. 9 is the answer.

Simple explanation:
Divide 360 by 40
360/40 = 9
Cody needs 9 wrappers.

3rd grader explanation:
Explain that Cody wants to divide 360 into __ groups of 40.
Use an illustration of separating things into equal groups (you can simply use separating 6 objects into equal groups of 2).
Explain that subtraction, multiplication, or addition will not help.
Tell him/her to use division.
Although 360 and 40 are large numbers, explain that the 0's can be removed into 4 and 36.
36 / 4 = 9
Since the answer is 9, Cody needs 9 wrappers.

Have an awesome day! :)
