Question

For a scavenger hunt, Jim's mom distributed a bag of 576 jelly beans evenly into 18 plastic containers and hid them around the yard. If, after the hunt, Jim has a total of 256 jelly beans, then how many of the plastic containers did he find?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

Answer 2

He found 8 containers of jelly beans.

Explanation:

First, you would calculate what is 576/18,

which equals 32. (this is the total number of containers hidden)

Next, you would take the total number of beans Jim found -- 256 -- and divide that by 32.

In the end, you should get 8.

Hope this helps!!

Have a blessed day!
