Question

Polly buys 14 cupcakes for party. the bakery puts them into boxes that hold 4 cupcakes each. If the bakery completely fills as many boxes as possible, what fraction of the last box is empty? How many more cupcakes are needed to fill this box?

Answer 1

1/2 of the last box is empty. First I divided 14 by 4. I got 3 2/4. This means that three boxes were filled completely and the last one was only filled by 1/2. Just copy, dot, flip. Good luck!
