Question

You are responsible for placing crates for the next day on the production floor. Each crate can hold 24 cartons of paper. Tomorrow they will produce 216 cartons. How many crates should you put out?

Answer 1

each crate holds 24 cartons.....and they will produce 216 cartons..

so u should put out : 216/24 = 9 crates <==

Answer 2

Each crate holds 24 cartons of paper, and they have 216 tomorrow.

To solve this, divide the total amount of cartons with the amount each crate can hold

216/24 = 9

You will need to put out 9 crates.

hope this helps
