Answer:
1.) 4 Carriers
2.) 12 boxes
3.) 2 r1 or 2.5
Explanation:
1.) 8X = 30
We get the equation 8X = 30 from the fact that there are 8 calculators in each carrier and there are X to hold the 30 calculators.
X = 30/8 = 3.75 = 4 carriers because we can't have portions of carriers
2.) 3X = 34
We get the equation 3X = 34 from the fact that there are 3 toys in each box and there are a total of X boxes to hold the 34 toys.
X = 34/3 = 11.3333 = 12 boxes because we can't have a third of a box
