Answer:

Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.

Explanation:

Total friends = 3

Cookies each friend will get = 8

Each box has cookies = 6 cookies

How many boxes does Margret need to get?

Total cookies will be= Total friends x Cookies each friend will get

Total cookies will be= 3 x 8 = 24

If one box has 6 cookies and we need total 24 cookies so, divide 24 by 6 to get number of boxes

Number of boxes = Total cookies/ number of cookies in one box

Number of boxes = 24/6

Number of boxes = 4

So, Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.
