Question

There will be 4 children at Sasha's little brother's birthday party. Sasha wants each child to go home with 10 finger puppets. Finger puppets come in packs of 5. How many packs should Sasha get?

• A. 8
• B. 40
• C. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is A 8

Step 1: Find the total number of finger puppets Sasha wants.
There will be 4 children. Each child will get 10 finger puppets. So, multiply 4 by 10.
4×10=40
Sasha wants 40 finger puppets.

Step 2: Find how many packs Sasha should get.
Sasha wants 40 finger puppets. Each pack has 5 finger puppets. So, divide 40 by 5 to find the number of packs Sasha should get.
Number of packs Sasha should get $=\frac{\text{Total number of finger puppets}}{\text{Number of puppets each pack has}}$
$=\frac{40}{5}=8$
Sasha should get 8 packs of finger puppets.
