Question

Michelle baked 64 Swiss rolls, which were to be delivered for a party. If she plans to pack 24 in a box, how many boxes in all will she require to pack all the Swiss rolls?

Option 1: 3 boxes
Option 2: 4 boxes
Option 3: 5 boxes
Option 4: 6 boxes

Answer 1

By dividing 64 Swiss rolls by the 24 rolls that fit in a box, it's determined that Michelle will need 3 boxes in total to pack all the rolls, with the third box not being completely full.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many boxes Michelle will require to pack 64 Swiss rolls if she plans to pack 24 in a box. To solve this, we can use division. By dividing the total number of Swiss rolls (64) by the number of Swiss rolls per box (24), we get the total number of boxes needed. The calculation is as follows:

1. 
   
3. Divide 64 by 24, which equals 2 with a remainder.
4. 
   
6. 64 ÷ 24 = 2 remainder 16.
7. 
   
9. Since we have a remainder, we will need one more box to accommodate the leftover Swiss rolls.
10. 
    
12. The total number of boxes required is therefore 2 + 1 = 3 boxes.

As a result, the correct answer is Option 1: 3 boxes.
