Question

Maria is evenly seperating 86 cupcakes into 4 boxes how many boxes will have cupcakes, and how many will be left over

Answer 1

21 cupcakes in each of the 4 boxes with 2 cupcakes leftover

Explanation:

Since Maria has 86 cupcakes and 4 boxes to split them into evenly, we can take the amount of cupcakes and divide by 4 to find how many cupcakes would go into each box:

86 ÷ 4 = 21 R 2, or 21 cupcakes per box with 2 leftover. See image for complete long division.
