The customer purchased 10 items from Publix, and now you need to bag those items. If each bag can hold only 3 items, how many plastic bags you will need to accommodate 10
items?

ANSWER: 4 bags

Each bag can hold 3 items and you have 10

10 items with 3 items in each bag = 10/3 (10 divided by 3)

3 goes into 10 three times (3x3 = 9) with 1 remainder which will also need a bag

So you will need 4 bags, only 3 of which will be full

Can you provide the tape diagram?
