The problem in the image is asking how many trays Melissa will need if she has 78 plastic cups and each tray can hold 25 cups.

To solve this, we divide the total number of cups by the number of cups that can fit on each tray:

\[
\frac{78}{25} = 3.12
\]

Since you can't have a fraction of a tray, Melissa will need to round up to the next whole number. Therefore, Melissa will need **4 trays**.

Would you like any additional details on how this calculation works, or do you have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. If Melissa had 90 cups and each tray could hold 30 cups, how many trays would she need?
2. What if each tray could only hold 20 cups? How many trays would she need for 78 cups?
3. How many cups would Melissa need to fill 5 trays, assuming each tray holds 25 cups?
4. If she only had 3 trays, how many cups would be left over after filling them with 25 cups each?
5. How many more cups would Melissa need to fill exactly 5 trays of 25 cups each?

**Tip:** When dividing numbers in real-life situations, like trays or containers, always round up if there's a remainder since partial trays or containers usually aren't possible.

Melissa had 78 plastic cups. She arranged them on trays that can hold 25 cups. How many trays did Melissa need?
