Answer:
1: 8.5
2: Between 8 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
If he has 68 packages and need to split equally into 8 piles, to know the number of packages in each pile, we just need to divide the total number of packages by the number of piles:
68/8 = 8.5
He needs to put 8 and a half package in each pile, or 8 packages in 4 piles and 9 packages in the other 4 piles.
The answer lies between the whole numbers 8 and 9.
