How many bundles of steel rod does the machinist require?

Given the data in the question;

  • Machinist needs 98 pieces of steel rod
  • The rods come in bundles of 8 pieces
  • Number of bundles of steel rods required by the mechanist = ?

To determine the bundle of steel required, let y represent the bundle.

Since;

1 bundle = 8 piece

y bundle = 98 piece

We cross multiply

y bundle × 8 piece = 1 bundle × 98 piece

y = ( 1 bundle × 98 piece ) / ( bundle ×  8 piece  )

y = 98 pieces / 8 piece

y = 12.25 ≈ 13
