2. If Susan has 100 fish balls, how many bamboo sticks will she need to consume all the fish balls?

3. If Susan wants to make 50 fishballs in a stick, how many fish balls will she need?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Five pieces fishballs + 1 piece bamboo stick = 1 fishball in a stick

2. 20 bamboo sticks

3. 250 fish balls

Explanation:

1. For every fishball in a stick, we need 1 bamboo stick and five pieces of fishballs.

2. Since we need 5 pieces of fishball per stick, divide 100 by 5 to get how many sticks we need. 100/5=20.

3. Since we need 5 pieces of fishball per stick, multiply 5 by how many pieces of product we need, which is 50, [ 5 x 50 = 250 pieces]. Final answer is 250 pieces.
