Question

Carrie is packing to move to another apartment down the hall. She packed 24 boxes. Each box can hold up to 8 lbs. The trolley she is using to move can take up to 32 lbs. How many trips does it take her to move if she only has one trolley? ​

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

The trolley can handle 32 lb. Each box weighs up to 8 lb.

Each box is full to 8 lb.

32 lb/ 8 lb = 4

Each trip of the trolley can carry 4 boxes.

There are 24 boxes. Each trip can take 4 boxes.

24/4 = 6

She needs 6 trips.
