Question

The Tasty Cookies Factory has a new robotic oven that produces 3,258 cookies each day. They sell the cookies in boxes of 12 cookies each. Managers Fatima and Jorge need to figure out how many boxes they can ship out of the factory each day.

The managers want to know how many boxes of 12 cookies can be filled with the 3,258 cookies that have been baked. Fatima starts by subtracting the largest number of boxes she can easily calculate. She knows that 100 boxes of 12 cookies can be put into one crate. How many crates can be filled from the total of 3,258 cookies?

Answer 1

they can ship out 271 boxes each day. 3,258/12 is 271.5 but the 0.5 doesn't matter bc that'd be half a box. a total of 2 crates can be filled fully with another crate that isn't completely full (in total 3 crates max)
