Answer 1

Answer:

40 rubber bands are needed

5 rubber bands will be left from 5 bags of of rubber band

Step-by-step explanation:

Each student will need five rubber bands.

There are eight students

Total rubber bands needed = rubber bands per student × number of students

= 5 × 8

= 40

Total rubber bands needed = 40

Rubber bands come in bags of nine.

Number of bags needed = Total rubber bands needed / number of rubber bands in each bag

= 40 / 9

= 4.44 bags

It is impossible to get decimal number of rubber bands bag, so, the next whole number after 4 is 5

5 rubber bands bags will be bought which = 5 × 9

= 45 rubber bands

Only 40 rubber bands are needed

Left over rubber bands = 45 - 40

= 5 rubber bands
