Question

Shawna packs blocks at the ABC. Blocks factory. She packs thousands in crates and tens in stacks. How can she pack an order for 1,250 blocks using just creates and stacks?

Answer 1

She can do 12.5 stacks.

Answer 2

Answer:

She can pack 1 crate and 25 stacks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each crate contains 1000 blocks.  This means 1 crate would give us 1000 blocks, leaving us with

1250-1000 = 250 blocks.

Each stack contains 10 blocks; 250/10 = 25 stacks would be necessary for 250 blocks.

This means we need 1 crate and 25 stacks.
