Ms. B goes through 1/2 a package of pencils every 1/8 a month for her students. How many packages does Ms.B need for 10 months? (aka- the entire school year)

Question

IM SO CONFUSED! PLEASE HELP ME :(

Answer 1

Every 1/8 month (ie about 4 days) she uses 1/2 a package

So every month she will use 8 x (1/2) = 4 packages

So in 10 months she will use 4 x 10 = 40 packages
