Question

Bottled water comes in cases of 24 bottles. You need 150 bottles of water for a school event. How many cases of water do you need to buy?
Which statement best explains why your solution is reasonable?

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cases = total bottles ÷ bottles per case.

Number of cases = 150 ÷ 24.

Number of cases = 6.25

Because the store doesnt sell a quarter of a case so you'll have to buy seven.
