Answer:

6 gift boxes

Step-by-step explanation

Given the following:

Total number of cookies = 108cookies

Amount of cookies each box can hold = 16cookies

Required

Number of boxes she can fill

Number of boxes she can fill = total cookies/amount of cookies per box

Number of boxes she can fill = 108/16

Number of boxes she can fill = 6.75

This means that she can only fill 6 gift boxes with 16 cookies
