Question

Milo has 5 rocks I. His collection. He finds 40 outside that he wants to add to his collection. If he places the rocks into boxes of 9 how many boxes of 9 will he have?

Answer 1

Milo initially has 5 rocks in his collection. After adding 40 more rocks, he has 45 rocks in total. Dividing this by 9 rocks per box, we find that he can fill exactly 5 boxes with no rocks left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Milo starts with 5 rocks in his collection. He finds 40 more rocks outside to add to his collection, making the total number of rocks 5 + 40 = 45 rocks. To determine how many boxes of 9 rocks he will have, we need to divide the total number of rocks by the number of rocks per box.

Dividing 45 rocks by 9 rocks per box gives us:

45 ÷ 9 = 5 boxes

Therefore, Milo will have 5 full boxes of rocks, with no rocks left over since 45 is exactly divisible by 9.
