A builder had 68 packages of nails he wanted to split equally into 8 piles. How much should be in each pile? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

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.

the median here is 25. your lowest value is 14 and highest value is 48. to find the third quartile, find the medium number in between 25 and 48 which would be 42 i believe.
