Mr. Jackson is ordering kazoos for his second, third, and fourth grade music classes. The kazoos come in boxes of 8. There are 2
6 second graders, 24 third graders, and 30 fourth graders. Which expression represents how many boxes of kazoos Mr. Jackson needs to order so that every student receives a kazoo? A. ( 26 × 24 × 30 ) + 8
B. ( 26 + 24 + 30 ) × 8
C. ( 26 + 24 + 30 ) ÷ 8
D. ( 26 × 24 × 30 ) ÷ 8
Sorry for the delay with helping you, had to go to work. The answer is C because the amount of kazoos needed is 1 for every student (so 26 + 24 + 30) and since 8 come in each box, you divide by 8 to get your answer of (26 + 24 + 30) <span>÷ 8 Hope this helped!</span>
They both have the common multiple of 24 and 48 in the intermediate multiplication since 24 is half of 48 and is the smallest multiple that is the answer.
