Question: A builder needs 2000 nails to finish a project. If the nails come in packages of 2, how many packages should the builder purchase?
(1) 1111 packages
(2) 1000 packages
(3) 1055 packages
(4) 1020 packages
Solution:
Divide the number of nails by the number in each package. Divide 2000 by 2.
First divide 2 by 2.
2 ÷ 2 = 1
Now count the zeros.
2000 ÷ 2 = ?
There are 3 zeros. Write 3 zeros in the answer.
2000 ÷ 2 = 1000
The builder should purchase 1000 packages.
Then the option is (2).
