Answer:
13 full shelves
Explanation:
From that above question:
A truck delivers 9 cases of canned corn. Each case hold 8 cans of corn
1 case = 8 cans of corn
9 cases =
9 × 8 cans = 72 cans of corn
Hence, the truck delivers 72 cans of corn
We are told that:
When the cases are unpacked, 18 of the cans are missing.
Hence, the amount of case that we have left. =
72 cans - 18 cans
= 54 cans of corn
The store manager places 4 cans of corn on each shelf
This means Mathematically
1 shelf = 4 cans of corn
Hence, the full shelves can the store manager make from the cans of corn delivered by the truck is calculated as:.
4 cans of corn = 1 shelf
54 cans of corn = x
4 × x = 54 × 1
x = 54/4
x = 13 2/4
x = 13 1/2 shelves.
Hence, the manager can make 13 full shelves from the cans of corn delivered by the truck
