Uniforms are sold in packages of 8. the stores 127 employees will each be given 3 uniforms. how many packages will the store need to order?

Ok so
represent number of packages as n
so the total number of uniforms is
(number of uniforms per package) times n aka
8 times n aka
8n

127 employees
each person needs at least 3, therefor
127 times 3=381
they need at least 381
therefor
8n>381
divide both sides by 8
n>47.625
you can't order a decimal box so you round up so you don't have too less
47.625 goes to 48

answer is 48 boxes

829 feet per second is your answer. You do this by doing 9,944in/s x ft./12in. Cancel out the in., and multiply to get 9,944ft in 12 seconds. Divide 9,944 by 12 to get around 828.6 ft., and then then round it up to get 829 ft. per second.
