Johnny plans to buy a pencil for each of his 21 students. There are six pencils in each package. How many packages must he buy?

Hi!

So we need to know how many times 6 goes into 21.

6, 12, 18, 24

6 doesn't go into 21 evenly, so Johnny will have to pick between buying 18 pencils, or 24 pencils.

If Johnny buys 3 packages, 3 students won't have any pencils. Which means Johnny has to buy 4 packages.

Hope this helps! :)

Divisor and Dividend are fractions lying between 0 and 1

Also, Divisor > Dividend

⇒ A smaller number is being divided by a larger number

Whenever a smaller number is divided by a larger number, the quotient is less than 1

E.g. Let divisor be $\frac{4}{5}$ and dividend be $\frac{2}{5}$

$\frac{4}{5}$ ÷ $\frac{4}{5}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ , which is less than 1

Hence, the answer is that the quotient will be less than 1

Not very much because things don't always happen the way we want them too
