Question

a basketball camp needs to buy 247 basketball jerseys. there are 6 jerseys in each package. how many packages does the camp need to buy? packages submit

Explanation:

Step1: Divide total jerseys by per package

To find the number of packages, we divide the total number of jerseys (247) by the number of jerseys per package (6). So we calculate $247 \div 6$.

Step2: Analyze the division result

When we divide 247 by 6, we get $247\div6 = 41$ with a remainder of 1 (because $6\times41 = 246$, and $247 - 246 = 1$). Since we can't buy a fraction of a package and we need all 247 jerseys, we need to round up to the next whole number. So we need $41 + 1 = 42$ packages.

Answer:

42
