Question

During a class trip to an apple orchard, a group of

students picked 2436 apples. They packed them into
6 boxes to take to the local food bank. If each box
held the same number of apples, how many apples
were in each box?
2) 46
3) 460
4) 406
5) 14,616

Answer 1

The answer is 406 apples.

2436 apples divided by 6 boxes gives you the number of apples in each box.

Answer 2

2436/6=406
4)406
We just divide the total number of apple which were 2436 divided by the number of boxes which was 6, that’s how we get the answer as 406.
