Dad is getting food ready for my birthday party! Including me, there will be 10 people at the party, Dad is baking cupcakes for us! He can bake 8 cupcakes per
batch
How many batches should I tell Dad to make so we can each have 3 cupcakes?

There are 10 people and you want each of them to have 3 cupcakes. So multiply 10x3, which is 30. Then divide 30 by 8. You can't do that without a remainder though. So you round up to the nearest multiple of 8, which is 32. Then divide 32 by 8, which is 4. So tell dad to bake 4 batches, and the rest is for your dessert tomorrow.
