Gigi needs 243 straws for an art project. if straws are sold in packages of 25, about how many packages will gigi need?

10 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need to divide 243 by 25, like so;

243÷25=9.72

Since you cant by 9.72 packages, you would have to round up to 10 packages to ensure you have enough straws

Gigi will need to buy at least 10 packages of straws to have enough to finish her art project.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we already know that Gigi is going to need 243 straws for her project. We are also given the information that there are 25 straws in a package. This is a simple division equation that can be represented by:

243/25=?

Now, the thing is, we know 243 is not divisible by 25, aka, it won't go in evenly. So, we will have a decimal.

243/25= 9.72

Since we know that we have to get at least 9.72 bags, and that the straws are only sold in pieces of 25, we must round up.  She will require 10 packages. ONLY USE 9.72 if the TEACHER IS LOOKING FOR AN EXACT ANSWER WITH DECIMALS.

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
