Answer:

She will put 14 cars in each box.

Explanation:

Given:

Ian has 16 red cars and 12 black cars on the floor of his room.

He picks up all the cars and puts an equal number of cars into 2 boxes.

Now, to find the cars she will put in each box.

So, we add the both the red and black cars Ian has on the floor of his room:


16+12


=28.

Thus, total number of cars = 28.

As, given that he puts an equal number of cars into 2 boxes.

Now, we divide the total number of cars by 2 to get the number of cars she will put in each box:


28/ 2


=14.

Therefore, she will put 14 cars in each box.
