Question

You bake 53 lemon cupcakes to take to a homeless shelter. If you keep 2 lemon cupcakes at home, how many boxes of 3 lemon cupcakes do you have to give away

Answer 1

Answer: 17 boxes

Step-by-step explanation: 53-2=51 (subtract 2 from 53 as they are left at home)

51/3=17 ( divide by 3 as one box contains 3 lemon cupcakes)

so the answer is 17 boxes

Answer 2

17 because 53-2=51 and 51/3=17
