1. Problem Description

We are given two word problems:
(1) 4 packets contain 2000 paperclips. We need to find the number of paperclips per packet.
(2) 7 jugs make 56 cups. We need to find the number of cups per jug.

2. Solution Steps

(1) To find the number of paperclips per packet, we divide the total number of paperclips by the number of packets.
Number of paperclips per packet = 20004\frac{2000}{4}
20004=500\frac{2000}{4} = 500
(2) To find the number of cups per jug, we divide the total number of cups by the number of jugs.
Number of cups per jug = 567\frac{56}{7}
567=8\frac{56}{7} = 8

3. Final Answer

500
8
