Question

Miles has 327 action figures and 4 shoeboxes to store them in. Each shoe box holds 80 action figures. Does miles have enough shoeboxes? If not, how many action figures are left over? Explain your answer and show work

Answer 1

To find out if Miles has enough shoeboxes to fit all 327 of his action figures, we first need to find the amount of action figures his current amount of shoeboxes can store. We can do this by multiplying the amount of shoeboxes Miles has by the amount of action figures each shoebox can hold.

4 * 80 = 320

Miles can store 320 action figures in 4 shoeboxes. Unfortunately for Miles, he has 327 action figures (which is 7 more than 320), meaning that 7 of them will have to sleep outside.
Hope this helped =)

Answer 2

First lets multiply 80 x 4 to see the total of how much action figures he is able to store.

80 x 4 =
320.

Miles has more action figures than the amount he is able to store so he does not have enough showboxes and will have 7 action figures left over.
