Answer:
6 packages
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the student needs a total of 3/4 pounds of modeling clay we need to calculate how much is 3/4 of 8 since that is the denominator being used to calculate each individual package of clay. Since 3/4 is equal to 0.75 we can simply multiply this by 8 to calculate the total amount of clay needed.
8 * 0.75 = 6
This means that the student will need 6/8 pounds of clay. Since each package brings 1/8 pounds this means that we would need a total of 6 packages in order to have enough clay.
To do this first we will divide the amount of dollars (20) by the amount of dollars 1 gallon is for (4). Then we will multiply the amount of times 4 goes into 20 by 32 and the answer will be the amount of miles she can drive worth $20.
20 ÷ 4 = 3
3 × 32 = 96
So, Margie can drive 96 miles in $20.
