Given the statement:
There are 13 bundles in a bag, and 17 sticks in a bundle,
Determine how many bags are needed in order to hold 794 stick.
Solution:
In order to determine the answer, we simply need to determine how many sticks are there in a bag since each bag has 13 bundles and each bundles has 17 sticks. We multiply 17 by 13 to determine the number of sticks, then we divide the product to 794.
= (13)(17)
= 221
= 794/221
= 3.6 bags or approximately 6 bags are needed.
Final answer:
= 3.6 bags or approximately 6 bags are needed.
