Answer 1

To find out how many chocolate bars each cake mix gets, we divide the total number of chocolate bars by the number of cake mixes and round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many chocolate bars each cake mix gets, we need to divide the total number of chocolate bars by the number of cake mixes. In this case, there are 4008 chocolate bars and 32 cake mixes, so we divide 4008 by 32.

4008 ÷ 32 = 125.25

Since we cannot have a fraction of a chocolate bar, we round the answer to the nearest whole number. When rounding, if the decimal part is less than 0.5, we round down, and if it's 0.5 or greater, we round up.

Since the decimal part of 125.25 is 0.25 (which is less than 0.5), we round down to the nearest whole number:

125.25 ≈ 125 bars
