Question

Ned packed 1,800 candles into 9 boxes. He packed an equal number of candles in each box. How many candles did he pack into each box?

Answer 1

Ned packed 200 candles into each box.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to divide the total number of candles that Ned has (1,800) by the number of boxes that he has (9). Since we know that he packed an equal number of candles into each box, we can simply divide the two numbers because each box will contain an identical number of candles.

1,800 candles / 9 boxes = 200 candles/box

Therefore, Ned packaged 200 candles per box.

Hope this helps!
