Question

Ms. Lawrie is making 30 boxes of space food. She made 2/

3 of the boxes already. How many boxes does she still need to make?

Answer 1

She would have to make only ten more boxes since 30 divided by 3 is ten and she already made 2/3’s, which is 20 total boxes

So the answer is 10.

Answer 2

The answer is 10.

Explanation:

Since 30 divided by 3 is 10, 2/3 equals 20. 30 minus 20 equals 10.
