Answer 1

Answ

Explanation:

17 boxes 47 divided by six so it is 17 boxes hope it helps:)

Answer 2

We need to divide up 47 eggs into boxes of 6. Therefore, we are doing a division problem.

6 x 7 = 42

42 is as close as we can get to 47 without going over. So, at this point, we need 7 boxes.

BUT - There are 5 eggs left without a box. We cannot have part of a box either. Therefore, we need to add in another box.

7 + 1 = 8

He needs 8 boxes to pack all the eggs.

Hope this helps!
