Lucy’s store sends 1,000 boxes of rice out daily in creates of five boxes each.The crates get sent to five different stores in the area.How many crates does each store receive daily?

Please help me

Answer 1

Each Store will receive 40 carats of rice daily.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Number of boxes of rice = 1000 boxes

Each carats contains boxes = 5 boxes

Number of stores to be distributed = 5

We need to find the Carats each store will receive.

First we will find number of carats distributed daily.

Number of carats distributed daily can be calculated by dividing Total Number of boxes of rice with Each carats contains boxes.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of carats distributed daily =
`(1000)/(5)=200\ carats`

Now Number of carats each store will receive can be calculated by dividing Number of carats distributed daily with Number of stores to be distributed.

Framing in equation form we get;

Number of carats each store will receive =
`(200)/(5)=40\ carats`

Hence Each Store will receive 40 carats of rice daily.
