Max is having a party with 38 people. He wants enough cupcakes to feed everyo.ne. If cupcakes are sold in packs of 6, how many packs will he need to buy? Put the answer in a complete sentence.
38 divided by 6 equals 36
so you need 6 packs of cupcakes with 2 extra cupcakes
To find out how many packs of cupcakes Max needs to buy, we need to divide the total number of cupcakes by the number of cupcakes in each pack.
Since Max wants enough cupcakes to feed all 38 people, the total number of cupcakes needed is 38.
If cupcakes are sold in packs of 6, we divide 38 by 6 to find the number of packs Max needs.
Dividing 38 by 6 gives us 6 with a remainder of 2.
Since we cannot buy a partial pack of cupcakes, Max would need to buy 7 packs in total.
Therefore, Max needs to buy 7 packs of cupcakes to feed everyone at the party.
