Question

A baker made 232 muffins. He sent 190 of the muffins to a local hotel. He will

put the rest of the muffins in boxes. Each box can hold 6 muffins. Which
equation can be used to find b, the number of boxes the baker will need?
A (232-190) ÷ 6 = b
B (232 +190) x 6 = b
C (232-190) x 6 = b
D (232 +190) + 6 = b

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The baker sent 190 muffins and we have 232 muffins in total.

so we need to subtract the amount the baker sent from the total number of muffins.

Then, once we get difference we divide the difference by the amount of muffins each box can hold which is 6 which equals to b.

so this is the equation that can be used to find b:

(232 - 190) ÷ 6 = b
