Question

The baker sends all of his bread to one store. If he can pack up 14 loaves of bread in a box for shipping, what is the minimum number of boxes required to shop all the loaves baked in two weeks? Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

B = T / 14

Explanation:

This scenario can be represented and solved using the following equation...

B = T / 14

In this equation, the variable B represents the total number of boxes required to ship all of the loaves of bread while the variable T represents the total number of loaves of bread. Since each box can only hold 14 loaves of bread, dividing the total by 14 would essentially give us the total number of boxes needed so that all of the loaves of bread are accounted for and placed in boxes.
