Ms. Sue
What do you think? Which process will give you a reasonable answer?

Hmm, dividing?
Ms. Sue
145 divided by 6 = 24.16667

Do you really think the school needs only 24 tubes?

OH ! Multiplying?
Ms. Sue
Yes. You need to multiply.
Than is it 870?
Ms. Sue
Where did you get 145?

Oops, I don't know ,I mean 629 * 6
