Question

Yuri needs to ship an order of 7,200 ornaments to a store. Each large carton holds 64 ornaments. Yuri fills as many cartons as he can with 64 ornaments, and then places any ornaments left over in a smaller carton. How many cartons in all does Yuri need to use? How many ornaments will there be in the smaller carton?

Answer 1

112.5 cartons

32 ornaments

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each carton contains 64 ornaments and we have a total of 7,200 ornaments to a store. Yuri must use ; 7200/64 = 112.5 cartons.

Since the last carton is only half filled. It will contain only 32 ornaments.
