Jamie gave 1&2/3 candy bars to each scout in her troop. She has 20 scouts in her troop. How many candy bars does she need?

GOOD LUCK!!!
 
34 candy bars
see she needs one whole candy bar plus 2/3 of one
so ((1*20)+((2/3)*(20/1)))
so 20+40/3
then 40/3=13 1/3+20= 33 1/3
but you can buy a third of a candy bar so round up and you get 34 candy bars
