Question

As a small step to save the environment, Luna came up with an idea for her sweet shop. In exchange for five eclaire boxes, that she gets, she decided to give an eclaire box for free. A group of kids from the locality ate seventy-seven eclaire boxes that week and they collected the boxes to give to Luna and get back eclaires boxes.

How many eclaires boxes do you think they can buy from Luna using the seventy-seven claire boxes?​

Answer 1

Answer: 15

Explanation:

From the question, we can infer from the information given that:

5 eclaires boxes = 1 free eclaires box.

Therefore, to get the number of eclaires boxes that the kids will get if they bring 77 eclaires boxes, we have to divide 77 by 5 and this will be:

= 77 / 5

= 15.4

= 15

The group of kids will receive 15 free boxes
