Question

a school principal orders 75 boxes of chalk. Each box has 12 stick of chalk. The school has 23 teachers. Does the principal have enough chalk to give each teacher 40 sticks?If yes how many sticks are left over? if no how many does the principal need?

Answer 1

So there is 75 boxes of 12 right? You would figure out how much sticks you have by multiplying then you have to give them to 23 teachers. You take the total of sticks and divide among each teacher 

I hope this helps :)
