Jordy works at the block factory. he has an order to pack 3,280 blocks. how can he pack the blocks using the fewest packages

There are two ways in which Jordan can pack 3,280 blocks.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

Number of blocks to be packed = 3,280

We have to make the following assumptions in order to answer the question:

Let us suppose that Jordan can pack the blocks in packages of 1000, 100 and 10.

Expanding 3280:

In order to pack, Jordan can pack 3,280 blocks in 3 packs of 1000, 2 packs of 100 and 8 packs of 10.

He could also use 3 packages of 1000 and 4 packages of 100 to use fewest packages. This packaging would have an extra space for 20 blocks.
