There would be 24 doughnuts in each box.

24÷8=3

Therefore each person should get 3 doughnuts.

Answer 2

Each person will receive 3 doughnuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she bought 4 boxes of doughnuts and each boxes has 6 doughnuts in each box.

Total number of doughnuts would be number of doughnuts in a box multiplied by the number of box of doughnuts bought.

Therefore:

Total number of doughnuts = 6 doughnuts * 4 boxes = 24 doughnuts

Total number of doughnuts = 24 doughnuts

If she divide it equally among 8 people, each person will get:

= Total number of doughnuts / number of people.

= 24/8

= 3 doughnuts

Each person will receive 3 doughnuts
