Farmer Jackson is filling orders for eggs from his chickens. He has one order from Jared’s Market Store for 64 eggs, and one ord
er from Quick Grab Store for 76 eggs. The order for Jared’s Market Store will take 4 small cartons and 5 large cartons. The order for Quick Grab Store will take 6 small cartons and 5 large cartons. How many eggs fit in each size of carton?
A. A small carton holds 9 eggs, and a large carton holds 5 eggs.
B. A small carton holds 6 eggs, and a large carton holds 8 eggs.
C.A small carton holds 8 eggs, and a large carton holds 6 eggs.
D.A small carton holds 5 eggs, and a large carton holds 9 eggs.
Think of it logically: A and C are not below sea level so you can cross them out. And B doesn't work because if you decrease -10 by 10 you get -20. So, D is correct.
