Grade 4 example:
Deanna is planning a cook-out for a family reunion. There will be 135 people attending.
Deanna needs to buy hamburgers to serve at her cook-out. If hamburgers come in packages of five, how many packages of hamburgers will she need to buy if everyone eats a hamburger? (I don't have to solve this problem. Just answering the question below)
What are possible incorrect solutions?
