Final answer:
Mrs. Hodges can make 28 full tins of muffins from 144 muffins when they are divided into tins of 5 muffins each, with 4 muffins left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
The task is to calculate how many tins of muffins can be made from 144 muffins when they are divided into tins of 5 muffins each. To find the answer, you simply divide the total number of muffins by the number of muffins per tin.
So, 144 muffins ÷ 5 muffins per tin = 28 tins with a remainder. This means that Mrs. Hodges can make 28 full tins of muffins, and there will be 4 muffins leftover that don't fit into a tin of 5.
