The third grade math teacher must lock up the math test booklets in the desk drawers overnight. Each desk drawer can hold 4 test booklets. If she needs to lock 28 test booklets, how many drawers must she use?
a. 5
b. 7
c. 9
d. 10
Answer: b
Explanation:
This is a division problem. In order to find out how many drawers are needed to hold 28 booklets when each one holds only 4 we divide as follows:
28 / 4 = 7
The math teacher will need 7 drawers.
