Mrs. Tompkins bought 1,250 sheets of cardstock for a special math project. The paper came in packages of 250. What method can be used to find out how many packages of paper Mrs. Tompkins bought?
You can use division to find out how many packages he purchase. Simply divide 1,250 by 250: 1,250/250 = 5. This means that 250 fits into 1,250 5 times, and that he purchases 5 packages. Hope this helps you :)
