Question

The Ivy Hill Sunshine Club collected 524 cans for a canned food drive. The cans were then split up equally into 8 boxes. Part A How many cans were in each box? Part B How many cans were left over after the boxes were filled?

Answer 1

Answer: a. There are 65 cans in each box .

b. There are 4 cans left.

Explanation:

Given : Total cans = 524

The cans were then split up equally into 8 boxes.

Number of cans in each box =
`524/ 8 =(524)/(8)=65(4)/(8)`

Here quotient = Number of cans in each box and remainder = cans are left

i.e. there are 65 cans in each box and 4 cans are left.
