Question

Kwan has 4 boxes of crayons. Each box has the same number of crayons. Now he has 27 crayons. How many crayons were in each box?

Answer 1

the answer is 8 because...

Explanation:

You forgot to put in that he LOST 5 crayons. He has 27 AFTER he lost the five. using inverse operations we would add 5 to 27 to get 32, and then we divide that by the number of boxes he had, we get 8.

Answer 2

Kwan would have 6.75 crayons in each box
