Question

Ursula bought 9 dozen rolls of first aid tape for the health office. The rolls were divide equally into 4 boxes. How many rolls are in each box?

Answer 1

We know that 12 equals one dozen. It is not asking for a dozen, but for 9 dozen. So, we need to multiply 9 by 12. 9*12 = 108.

It says the rolls of first aid tape were divided equally into 4 boxes. We need to divide these 108 rolls into 4 equal groups, since that is what took place in the problem. So, we divide 108 by 4.
108/4 = 27. There are 27 rolls in each box.
