The women of a Native American tribe wove 672 blankets to keep warm during the winter. Twenty-seven of the blankets were destroyed in a fire. The women shared the remaining blankets evenly between 15 families. How many blankets did each family receive?

Respuesta :

Answer: 43 blankets

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that the women wove 672 blankets to keep warm during the winter and that 27 were destroyed in a fire, the remaining will be:

= 672 - 27

= 645

We are further told that the remaining 646 blankets was shared among 15 families. Each family will get:

= 645/15

= 43

Each family gets 43 blankets
